About WSUP

WSUP is a not-for-profit company that helps transform cities to benefit the millions who lack access to water and sanitation.

Community businesses are enterprises that are owned and run democratically by members of the community and others, on behalf of the community. We currently works with over 700 community businesses and this number is continually growing. They come in many forms - including shops, pubs, woodlands and anything which lends itself to community ownership. In addition to developing and safeguarding valuable assets and services, community businesses address a range of issues including isolation, loneliness, wellbeing, work and training.
