Who is Peter Thum? He’s the founder of Ethos Water, which has generated over six million dollars to help a half-million people around the world get clean water, as well as hygiene and sanitation education. He was our feature guest at our most recent Interesting Café, Clickable's monthly culture night and open house.  Below is a video we shot after his talk.

Thum first had the idea for Ethos in 2001 after working in South Africa, where he saw water issues firsthand. In 2002, he left his job to pursue his vision to address the world water crisis and help children get clean water.  He led Ethos as its President from idea through to its acquisition by Starbucks in 2005.
