In October, we announced an exciting partnership with Arta Finance to unlock philanthropic funding and impact investments for businesses and initiatives advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.   Yesterday, we celebrated a key milestone in this collaboration with our very first Evening of Impact, hosted for Arta’s community of members. This special evening brought together an inspiring group of funders and founders. We were privileged to hear from visionary leaders driving transformative work - Janine Teo of Solve Education! Foundation; David Pong and Chong Tee Lim of Wateroam, Adi Reza 🍄of MYCL | Mycotech Lab; and Federico Di Credico of Climate Action Data Trust.   Their passion, innovation, and commitment to creating positive change left the room buzzing with energy and inspiration. It was incredible to see impact-driven individuals connecting with and supporting each other to scale global solutions.   To date, Co-Axis has curated around 100 projects from over 40 countries on our platform, with a curated selection now also available on the Arta app. Together with Arta and its early members, we hope to bridge funding gaps and tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges.   A heartfelt thank you to everyone on this journey with us! 🌟   #ImpactInvesting #Philanthropy #SustainableDevelopment #Collaboration #UNSDGs #Partnerships #Innovation

Typhoon Yagi, the most devastating storm to hit Vietnam in 30 years, has left a staggering aftermath. Communities are still grappling with the challenge of accessing clean water, an essential resource for life and recovery. 🌍🚰 In response, Hydropro Ecoventures is spearheading the recovery relief efforts, and together with our vendor; Wateroam (the leading Singapore based Water Social Enterprise), we are deploying the ROAMfilter™ Plus hand-pump water purification solution across the 5 hardest-hit districts in Vietnam to provide immediate and sustainable access to clean water. The ROAMfilter™ Plus (https://lnkd.in/gnmT-3tg) excels in any environment: 🔹 Advanced ultrafiltration membrane purifies water effectively 🔹 Removes 99.9999% bacteria and 99.99% viruses 🔹 High flow rate: 300 liters per hour serve communal needs 🔹 Quick setup, easy maintenance – no electricity needed 🔹 Flexible operation: handpump, pipeline, or gravity-fed options 🔹 Can be equipped with an external submersible pump for electrical use 🔹 Flight check-in ready – deploys rapidly where needed Each unit impacts up to 40 families or 200 people. With our plan to deploy 60 units, we aim to reach 2,400 families or 12,000 individuals, transforming their access to safe drinking water. Together, we can turn the tide on this crisis.
