Conversation of Change Episode #28: Transforming Lives: The Nazava Story


Conversation of Change

In the latest episode of Conversation of Change, we sit down with Lisa, the inspiring co-founder of Nazava Water Filters, a social enterprise committed to providing affordable and safe drinking water to underserved communities.


Lisa’s story takes us from the Netherlands to Indonesia, where she witnessed the daily struggles faced by low-income households in accessing clean water. Her experiences inspired the creation of Nazava, a venture that not only addresses a critical global issue but also offers a sustainable, impactful solution.


The Problem: Access to Clean Water

Clean water is a fundamental need, yet millions globally lack reliable access to it. In rural Indonesia, households often resort to boiling water to make it safe for drinking, which consumes valuable resources, time, and energy, and contributes to carbon emissions.


The Solution: Nazava Water Filters

Lisa and her team developed innovative water filtration systems that are affordable, durable, and effective. These filters require no electricity, making them ideal for off-grid communities. Tested rigorously in diverse environments, the filters remove harmful contaminants while retaining essential minerals, ensuring that families have access to safe drinking water with minimal effort.

During the podcast, Lisa shared her ambitious vision: for Nazava to become a global leader in household water filtration by 2030. She highlighted the importance of combining social impact with financial sustainability, ensuring that the enterprise can scale effectively while continuing to serve the communities that need it most.


Supporting Beyond Borders

Nazava's mission of social impact doesn’t stop at water. Lisa revealed upcoming initiatives, including fundraiser campaigns aimed at supporting war victims in Ukraine and providing filters to schools in Indonesia. These efforts underscore Nazava’s dedication to creating a better world through innovation and compassion.
