Beth's Profile

Beth Koigi

Beth Koigi

CoFounder & CEO, Majik Water

What drives us? We believe in water as a human right—a belief born from Beth's own experiences growing up in rural Kenya, where water insecurity shaped lives. Her journey is rooted in empathy: not just building a company, but crafting a movement to ensure dignity, health, and opportunity through access to clean water.

A story that's bigger than technology

In 2017, Beth cofounded Majik Water to turn an everyday phenomenon—atmospheric humidity—into lifegiving water. This isn't just innovation. It's community empowerment in motion: an offgrid solution meeting the harsh realities of climate change across Africa. It blends modern science with local understanding to create hope where it's needed most.

Under Beth's leadership, Majik Water has reached communities across the continent and has gained international recognition from UN Environment, MIT, Forbes, Fast Company, and more.

Impact rooted in empathy

Before Majik Water, Beth launched an initiative that delivered clean water filters to over 5,000 rural Kenyan households, improving lives one family at a time. Her work is grounded in community empowerment, climate justice, and the belief that technology should serve people—not the other way around.

A global voice, with strong roots

Academically, Beth is a graduate of the University of Nairobi, with a Master's degree in Project Planning and Management and a Bachelor's degree in Community Development. She also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Exponential Technologies for Global Grand Challenges from Singularity University in California.

Her work has earned her global recognition, both individually and as CoFounder of Majik Water. Some of the honors she's received include:

EDF Pulse Award Africa (2017)

MIT Water Innovation Prize

Women in Tech Award (AWIEF)

Majik Water's innovation was also featured in the Netflix documentary A Brave Blue World—alongside global changemakers like Matt Damon and Jaden Smith—highlighting the company's role in shaping the future of water access.

"Water is a human right. No community should be left behind."

This simple truth guides every decision Beth makes at Majik Water—from innovation to storytelling, from rural installations to global forums.
