Iguá Institute was founded in 2018 by Iguá Saneamento to make a difference in the sector by maximizing the social and environmental impact of its activities. With its innovative DNA, technical excellence and articulation capacity, Iguá Saneamento is proud to have been a pioneer in acting beyond its own operation and geographical limits.

In 2024, Iguá Institute became Yarandu Institute, which maintains the ambitious mission: to contribute to universalize sanitation in Brazil, through the promotion of innovation and education for sustainable development.

We understand that promoting sanitation goes far beyond treating and providing water and collecting and treating sewage. Working with water and sewage services means giving thousands of Brazilian citizens their dignity, health, and a future perspective. We encourage awareness of the natural cycles, and our work is in full harmony with them, preserving the natural resources and ensuring sustainable development.

We believe that it is possible to see problems as an invitation to action, to have attitude and courage to innovate and to mobilize resources and partners for the cause. All to generate positive results for society as a whole.

We know that universalizing sanitation in Brazil is a complex challenge and that we cannot tackle it alone. Therefore, we seek to act as catalysts for systemic change, working in partnership with other sector players and multiplying the impact of our activity.
