We’re a safe water charity that serves small rural communities typically overlooked by government and larger NGOs

We work with community members, village leaders, local governments, and funding partners to identify smaller rural villages (of less than 1000 people) and/or rural growth centers (of 2500-3500 people) that do not have sustainable access to safe water. We rehabilitate boreholes and replace broken handpumps and install a smart solar-driven water kiosk in a bid to make use of existing infrastructure.

Before we enter a community, we perform a hydrogeological assessment. All our water is tested against WHO standards prior to installation and we check the recharge rate of the aquifer. We work with identified community leaders to develop a sustainability plan for each installation, including mobile payment solutions to secure maintenance funds.

Once a memorandum of understanding has been signed with the community and local government has approved our plans, we ship and deliver the water kiosks. We work with local contractors to assemble and install the structure. The Project Maji solar-powered water kiosk assembly is completed within a week, watch an assembly video here.

Our work starts once the taps are opened. We collect water revenue through our e-payment systems, and these secure funds pay for regular site-servicing. Maintenance and repair services are managed by the Project Maji engineers. To ensure full functionality and sustainability, every water kiosk comes with a built-in, remote monitoring system to evaluate the real-time efficiency and performance of all our sites.
