ROCKBlue

Supporting urban water and sanitation service in the developing world by addressing capacity and trust issues through its partnership with utilities.

ROCKBlue is a global nonprofit working to create a world where everyone in urban areas of low- and middle-income countries has access to clean water and basic sanitation.

Water is everything. Especially for a child.

Across African cities, reliable water and sanitation can help make that possible by supporting healthier homes, schools, and communities.

That is why strengthening water utilities matters. When water services work well, they support much more than access to water. They support the everyday lives and opportunities of the people who depend on them.

At ROCKBlue, we work with water utilities to strengthen the systems that deliver these essential services.

When water flows, opportunity flows.

What can a 10-year partnership change?

At ROCKBlue, we believe sustainable water access is built through long-term partnerships with the utilities responsible for delivering these essential services.

Over the past decade, our partnerships have helped utilities strengthen their operations, improve performance, develop leadership capacity and build the systems needed to serve growing urban populations.

And the impact is measurable.

Across eight partner utilities in five African countries, the combined population receiving piped water has grown from approximately 19.4 million people at the start of our partnerships to 22 million today.

That is 2.6 million additional urban residents with access to piped water.

The number tells only part of the story. It represents communities with greater access to essential services. Families relying on stronger water systems. And utilities that are better equipped to meet the needs of the people they serve.

This is what long-term partnership can achieve → lasting improvements that continue to flow.

Five cohorts. One growing community of women leaders in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector. Ten years of ROCKBlue's proven impact.

We are proud to celebrate the completion of our fifth cohort of ROCKBlue's global initiative, the Women's Urban Leadership in Utility WASH (WULUW) programme.

Across five cohorts, women leaders from across Africa have connected, learned, challenged one another, and strengthened their leadership in WASH.

Completing a cohort is the beginning of new connections, new possibilities, and new opportunities to lead. The journey continues.

To the women of Cohort E: your voice matters, your leadership matters, and the impact you create matters.

And to the ROCKBlue mentors who generously shared their time, experience, and wisdom: thank you for investing in the next generation of women leaders and helping make these connections possible.

Here's to the women leading change and keeping progress flowing in WASH.
