Venture Founder
Kaveto Tjatjara, the CEO and founder of Flushh, believes that business can be a force for good in society. In 2014, during a visit to his home village, he recognized the harsh realities of underserved communities as he watched his grandmother walk to find some privacy and a bush to defecate behind. This was a huge call to action for him. In 2020, at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, his social enterprise was awarded the most impactful startup by SEED SPOT Impact Accelerator. The same year, he was awarded a Global Good Fund fellowship for his leadership abilities. In 2018, he was selected for the prestigious Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders. Kaveto works hard to form cross-sector partnerships to challenge the status quo by using alternative technologies in the sanitation sector as suitable alternatives for building more resilient communities. He has a bachelor’s degree in accounting and auditing from the University of Namibia.
