Zephyr Mangata works with people around the world to create transformative change. How? Glad you asked!
We focus on the big problems we all face: Access to clean, accessible water and climate change impacts. And we help solve them in ways that dig deep and uncover the hidden treasure of working with each other.
We ask catalytic questions for a fresh approach: Solving systemic issues asks us to rewire ways of thinking and acting, and to illuminate solutions that revolutionize what we achieve – together. We can help you do this.

Zephyr Mangata Game Changers
Enhance Strategy and Navigation
If you’re a star, (you are, just trust us) how can seeing the complete constellation you’re part of help you shine into your best outcomes? We create strategies that connect the dots so all involved work well together to drive global goals and leverage change at a systems level. Together we can make it easier to understand how to make and measure progress collectively, learn from each other, and innovate to leapfrog ahead.

See our article on Connecting the Dots.
Amplify Changemakers
Energy from progressive movements is all around us. How can those who will inhabit the future all have a voice in shaping it? People critically affected by critical issues, youth and BIPOC, need a clearer pathway to leadership as solutionaries. Inclusion of these voices is vital. Together we can be better partners by listening to and acting with those who want to make a bigger difference for the world but aren’t being heard.
See how we’re supporting youth in learning and leading for change.
Build Vital Bridges
None of us can do it alone, but we often work in silos, apart from those we need to solve systemic issues. What bridges should we build as we break down the silos? We create tools and networks for strategic global connections. Together we can better share knowledge across geographies, sectors, organizations and categories like race, class and gender.
See how we’re building connections at different scales: across 10 countries and 7 lakes and keeping board members engaged at an organization.
Make It Intersectional
We live in a web of connections, in which our actions have impacts. What if strength is magnified by our ability to lift up others? When we build transformative work that centers on healthy people, thriving organizations and vibrant ecosystems, outcomes are enhanced. Let’s focus on equity and justice to create enduring solutions with and for those who are disproportionately affected by the impact. Together we can address the global water and climate crises.
