Numerous women and children in rural Ghana and Kenya trek long distances in search of water. This quest leads to missed school for children and wasted time for women. Solar-powered water kiosks offer this solution by bringing clean water to the surface, ensuring that women and children lead healthier and happier lives.
The goal of Project Majis is to bring solar powered water stations to areas in Ghana and Kenya that often don't receive attention from larger NGOs or local authorities due to their sparse populations. By setting up these Maji stations in the heart of these communities, we can significantly reduce the time it takes to collect water by 90% leading to a decrease in water related illnesses like diarrhoea, as evidenced by our impact assessments.
This endeavour aims to offer 3,000 individuals access to water, which will result in better health and increased economic prospects, particularly for women. Our stations are equipped with remote monitoring technologies for performance checks, ensuring operation. The modest water fees collected through payments are set aside for maintenance purposes, guaranteeing that communities can sustain themselves and have access to water in the long term.
