H2Grow

Core Human Needs
H2Grow is a United Nations World Food Programme innovation that brings locally adaptable and affordable hydroponic solutions to vulnerable communities around the world.

The Need

Growing rapidly, it requested a Knowledge Pledge Catalyze Session to help explore how it could develop long-term funding and technical partnerships, rolling out hydroponics in schools across multiple countries. (Catalyze Session)

Project Impact

The Knowledge Partners participating worked on identifying and clarifying the nature of the bottlenecks regarding growing partnerships for H2Grow as the organization readies for scaling. They then explored several funding options as well as other companies and organizations doing similar work. Finally, the team suggested different messaging alternatives that might unlock new funding opportunities.
