Aquasante Rwanda Ltd

Our Haugian heritage

The company name is inspired by Hans Nielsen Hauge who lived in Norway more than 200 years ago.

Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771 -1824) is a truly influential man. His business leadership ideas are built on fellowship, interaction, care and equality.

Hans Nielsen Hauge was deeply touched and changed by the experience of God’s presence in a very special way whilst ploughing the field at their farm. From this he got a deep desire to help his fellow Norwegians. Norway was very poor at this time, production was low, many people were ill, and social misery was abundant. Hauge travelled the country, shared and inspired people to social and spiritual liberation. He encouraged people to start businesses using their resources and skills to create jobs.

According to Hauge, profit should be a means to a higher end and business operations should follow the principles of servant leadership. A business should positively influence local society as well as the living conditions for those who were part of the fellowship.
