It's been a very busy week for our team in Uganda. We're building two solar-powered water systems concurrently so we can have them working before the dry season starts in June. We should be launching one system next week and the other before the end of May. Stay tuned!

LAUNCHED! Our solar-powered water system in the trading center of Mirambi, Uganda is now operational! The system was generously funded by Aqua for All, and built in coordination with the Practica Foundation to trial their mechanical pre-payment system, the TokenTap. #cleanwater

Yesterday, our team began installing private connections fitted with prepaid water meters in homes and schools as part of our newest solar-powered water supply system in Uganda. We're proud to integrate this tech and provide the highest level of service delivery for water supply.

Today we had a team out to the site of our next solar-powered water system to develop the borehole we'll be using. We use compressed air to open up cracks in the geology to help water flow more easily into the borehole. We're starting construction later this week, so stay tuned!
