Whether just interested in the impact (philanthropic), the financial return or both, funding is the first key enabler for a new mini-grid. The demand for water is basic and very high yet capital is scarce.

​Funders only contribute to the establishment of the mini-grid while operation and maintenance are assured by us.

Through Agreements with funders, we agree on deliverables including impact, financial return and potential revenue share for their desired destination.

Funders are also permanently recognized on the new infrastructure.

We undertake the following responsibilities:

• ​Construction of the water point.
• Hiring and training water sellers.
• Operations and maintenance of the water point through monthly preventive care, water quality monitoring and fast response to outages.
• Collect a reasonable price for the water using smart prepaid meters.
• Expand the network and provide more individuals with access to the water in their homes.
• Impact monitoring through period surveys and monthly data analysis.
• obtain necessary groundwater extraction permits.

The community is an essential partner of the mini-grids. Through their water purchases, the mini-grid will grow and thrive.

But before we can establish one we have to :

• Have a collaboration framework with the local leadership (usually through an MoU with the district).
• Receive passage from the community when laying pipes.
• Receive land from the community.
