Technology is a Vehicle, Change is 100% Human

EPISODE 7

Anastasia Kaschenko, Majik Water

“There is 6 times more water in the air, than there is in all of the rivers in the world combined.”

While climate action seems low on many government agendas since the Corona lockdown, Tessa talks to Anastasia Kaschenko, CTO of Majik Water, a sustainability tech start-up harvesting drinking water from air for off-grid communities.

An environmental scientist, award-wining entrepreneur and Google Singularity University graduate, Anastasia paired up with two female entrepreneurs in 2017 to work on sustainable water solutions. As a child of Ukrainian parents who emigrated to Canada, Anastasia’s immigrant journey has instilled in her a sense of humility, hard work and continuous flexibility. As CTO, she views breakthrough technology as a combination of human ingenuity, nature and innovation, and explains the complimentary relationship technology has to conservation and reuse when it comes to water solutions.

Since 2017, Majik Water (‘Maji’ meaning water, and ‘K’ for kuvana, which means harvesting in Swahili) has deployed projects in Kenya, South Africa and India, providing sustainable water solutions for Fortune 500 corporations, paired with community impact projects deploying 20,000 litres of drinking water per month to drought-stricken regions.
