WHI
Safe Drinking Water for Poor
Acumen Fund's loan guarantee helped establish a $1 million debt facility from ICICI, India's second-largest bank. In 2007, Dow Venture Capital anchored an $11 million Series C round of investments in WHI. This access to mainstream capital markets will enable WHI to scale exponentially and reflects the sophistication of its business plan. WHI now has the potential to be a game-changing leader in providing safe drinking water in rural areas in a financially sustainable manner.
