How do you help a billion people?

According to the WHO and UNICEF, more than 2 billion people lack access to safely managed water. But it may be as high as 4 billion. Jonas Pilgaard is the CEO of a company that’s working on a product that will dramatically reduce those numbers. But it’s not an easy feat, and requires a lot of nuance and diplomacy in order to build trust with communities of people who are rightly suspicious of drinking water.In Jonas’ experience, listening and learning from others helps us to be less judgmental and to find solutions to complex problems. It takes time to understand the needs of the people we’re trying to help, and to not make assumptions about what’s “best”.Jonas is the CEO of 4 Life Solutions, a social impact company that aims to provide affordable, sustainable, and reliable water purification solutions to those in need. The company has developed a plastic bag and a plastic can that use the power of the sun to purify water, which is especially targeted towards people in the lowest income groups who can’t afford more expensive solutions.Jonas has a background in the IT industry as an entrepreneur and joined 4 Life after being introduced to the founders and their mission to provide safe drinking water to those in need. He believes in the importance of understanding people's perspectives and being less judgmental.LinksConnect with Jonas via LinkedInThe Sawa CanThe Sawa Bag<br/>
