In this episode, meet Kaveto Tjatjara, the Founder of Worldview Technology.
With 54% of Namibians living without access to adequate sanitation, Worldview Technology is on a mission to provide sanitation for all, especially for the urban poor population by use of ecological, sustainable sanitation solutions.
In the interview Kaveto shares;
1. His experience with lack of sanitation while visiting across Namibia and how the lack of toilets kept him from enjoying a feast when visiting his ancestral home
2. The strategy he used to validate that indeed there was a sanitation problem and that he had a solution that could work
3. And how he transitioned from an accounting and economist career to a social entrepreneur
Kaveto also talks about how he financed his business, business challenges he faced and how even as a child, his entrepreneurial savvy helped him get through school.
There is a lot of gold in this interview. And while it was recorded back in 2019, the learnings are as relevant as ever.
We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did and now, without further ado, enter Kaveto.
