WaterStarters

About this project

MegaGroup and Amref joined forces in WaterStarters; A franchise that renovates and builds water supply systems, each of them designed together with the community to match their specific needs. WaterStarters offers communities and entrepreneurs (franchisees) the opportunity to own and manage a successful water business, providing them with access to funding for the initial investment. The precondition is that franchisees contribute at least 15% of the investment upfront, increasing their ownership and commitment. At the same time, it offers impact investors and donors an attractive, sustainable initiative to invest in. WaterStarters offers a comprehensive solution to guarantee water availability all year round with a borehole downtime of maximum 3 days, opposed to the current average of 27 days. This solution includes groundwater scans, solar energy, pre-paid water meters, and a monitoring dashboard. This is combined with hygiene education for, and provided by, community members. The education helps to prevent waterborne illnesses and increases demand for safe water.
