Ebrahim Behardien
Founder
Ebrahim Behardien is a Master's student at the University of Cape Town specializing in waste value extraction, informal housing development, and water resource management within the Environmental and Geographical Science (EGS) faculty.
His passion for water and the environment began while working as a plumber's assistant in his father's business, where he developed a fascination for water systems and waste management. Inspired by leading minds in EGS, Ebrahim views waste and water as integral parts of a circular system that must be preserved and optimized to ensure equitable, sustainable access and maximize their potential value.
