Reckitt WASH Accelerator Opportunity

10 August 2022Thula Zondi

The Reckitt Fight For Access Accelerator, in partnership with Yunus Social Business, is accepting applications from social entrepreneurs who are improving access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene, and ultimately driving better health outcomes for communities. 

The programme is called the Fight for Access Accelerator, and it is in partnership with Reckitt South Africa and their purpose-led brands Dettol, Finish and JIK. We are now accepting applications from social entrepreneurs who are improving access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in South Africa, ultimately driving better health outcomes for communities. Applications close on 15 August 2022 and the programme starts in October.

The programme will catalyse grassroots social enterprises focused on WASH by providing:

  • Impact acceleration bootcamps, delivered by experts from Yunus Social Business that are tailored to unlock specific barriers to growth.
  • Expert mentorship from Reckitt’s people, specialists in health and hygiene and a wide range of business functions, who can provide tangible support and guidance throughout.
  • Seed funding to invest in growth to scale the business and reach more people.
