Social Enterprise

Why we are still a social enterprise

For years, non-profits have been at the heart of social change—working alongside communities and stepping in when governmentsand markets fall short and doing the hard work that needs to getdone. But let’s get real, times have changed. The global fundinglandscape has shifted dramatically with governments in the Global North increasingly turning inward and focusing their tax revenues on domestic priorities. That old, dependable funding model isn't cuttingit anymore. We’ve entered a new era of uncertainty and instability.

But here’s the thing: we don’t do this work because there is funding—we do it because it’s right. And while this global shift hasbeen disruptive, it has only reaffirmed my belief that our social enterprise model is the most viable path forward. I believed itthen, and I believe it even more now.

That’s why we established BASEflow Services, BASEflow Products, and BASEflow Construction—three social enterprisesdesigned to support our mission and ensure the long-term financial sustainability of our non-profit work. These businesses helpcover operational costs and give us the freedom to pursue bold solutions that some might find too risky to support.

BASEflow Services

BASEflow Services provides consulting support—such as groundwater assessments—to help governments, communities,and NGOs make smart, evidence-based decisions in the water sector.

BASEflow Products

BASEflow Products offers off-the-shelf water-related tools—like water quality testing kits—to improve service deliveryand quality assurance.

BASEflow Construction

BASEflow Construction focuses on building and rehabilitating water infrastructure that lasts—real, practical solutions to urgent challenges.

We know some may worry that “going into business” could distract us from our mission. But trust us, we remain community-driven, grounded in data, and focused on sustainable impact. Every penny we earn helps us do more of what matters.

The world still needs non-profits. But we must evolve—without compromising our values. Strengthening our social enterprisemodel is how we continue to show up for the communities that count on us, now and into the future.

This is who we are—
and who we choose to become.
