Olivier Njamfa
Co-Founder of Aquavera
"When I was a child, under the warm and welcoming skies of Cameroon, I was incredibly privileged to have clean drinking water freely flowing in our home. And in our garden, like a hidden treasure, a well held the earth's secrets, offering our family an endless water source, a true miracle of nature.
I remember with poignant nostalgia the neighbors coming, their footsteps echoing in the alley, to draw water from our well. From my window, I often gazed at another well not far away, alive with activity from dawn until late at night. Laughing children, brave women, whole families gathered there, forming a vivid and touching tableau of the daily quest for water.
This scene, etched in my heart, shaped my dreams and aspirations. Arriving in Europe, this image followed me, a constant reminder of those who lacked this basic luxury. Water, the essence of life, became my mission.
In every company I set foot in, led, or accompanied, I carried this cause in my heart. March 22, World Water Day, was our sacred moment, a day to honor this precious gift. We celebrated it fervently, raising funds for those tirelessly working to bring clean water to the deprived.
My encounter with Charity Water was a turning point. But the day I learned about machines capable of turning air into water, my heart leaped. Technology, my passion, was united with my dearest cause. It was a sign, a revelation.
Driven by this vision, I founded Aquavera. Our mission? To use this revolutionary Air to Water technology to provide drinking water to those in need for it. Aquavera is more than an association; it's an oath to the earth, a commitment to humanity, a promise of hope and life."
