Our Mission
At Appian, our mission is to improve the lives of the world’s most vulnerable through water access using education, hands on technical assistance, investment and partnerships. Appian Water works to improve water quality, sanitation, nutrition, hygiene and health standards to support the provision of sustained and reliable access to water.
Why Appian?
Appian was the name of the first aqueduct in ancient Rome. It is believed, that due to the steady supply of water it provided, the Roman Empire began and flourished. At Appian, we believe by investing in both human and physical capital to improve water access for people in the most remote pockets of our world will allow them to flourish, too.
