Humans of Purpose 410 Kurt Avery: The Global Clean Water Solution!
My guest this week is Kurt Avery - Founder & President of Sawyer, a global impact organisation transforming access to clean water. Kurt’s work isn’t just about providing solutions; it’s about rethinking what’s possible in humanitarian aid and public health.
He’s best known for pioneering water filtration technology that can last up to 10 years, helping entire villages gain safe, reliable drinking water, and scaling solutions across countries to create measurable social and economic impact.
In this episode of Humans of Purpose, we explore how Kurt turned innovation into action, how his team is reshaping what’s achievable in global health, and the strategies behind scaling real-world solutions at unprecedented scale. We talk about ambition, problem-solving, and the courage to challenge what everyone thinks is possible.
Tune in to hear Kurt Avery’s story, and how his work is changing lives, one filter, one village, one country at a time.
