Thorsten Kiefer is the Co-Founder and CEO of WASH United. WASH is an acronym for WAter, Sanitation and Hygiene and they are developing cutting edge solutions within those areas.
Thorsten is a social entrepreneur that began by studying at law school, but during his studies he felt a lack of passion to the studies. He was so much more drawn to Human Rights and Environmental Issues instead. To challenge himself, he decided to move to Venezuela to study abroad, one of the very few law students who have done that. That trip changed him, and finally, he started to find more meaning to his studies.
When he got back to Germany he decided to study a master in Amsterdam that was called Human Rights and International Law - and that became the start of the career path he have chosen.
Just a few notes about Thorsten is that he is, or at least was, a big football fan and he lives in the area of Kreutzberg together with his wife, his two kids and two cats.
I hope you really enjoy this episode as much as I did!
