Solar Panel Powered Water Stations

The water table in some parts of Africa and Asia is far below the ground, and traditional hand pumps are useless in these situations. Most of these areas still lack access to electricity, and high fuel costs mean diesel-powered pumps are not an ideal option.

Solar water wells are cost-effective and sustainable, providing water to remote villages and communities.

What they provide

These wells provide

Clean drinking water

A story of dignity

Daughter of the Desert – Barakatu

“Water should not be a privilege. It is a human right.”

This is the story of Barakatu and how access to clean water is changing her life in the quiet corner of the Sahara.

Barakatu is 18 and lives with her parents in the village of Tanka in Niger. Due to the family's socio-economic situation, Barakatu had to leave education after finishing her primary school.

Our process

How we assign a water well?

Step 1
Need Assessment
Our team on the ground performs a need assessment before commissioning a water well in a specific area.
Step 2
Soil and Water testing
Before we start the construction process, we will carry out specific water tests (depending on the country) to check the quality and safety of the water. We also collaborate with local authorities for various permissions and other legal permits needed for construction during this period.
Step 3
Construction
The construction starts immediately after acquiring the relevant permissions from the local authorities and when suitable weather conditions permit.
Step 4
Handover to the local community
Once the water well is constructed and ready to use safely, we hand it over to the local community.
Step 5
Feedback
Once the water well is handed to the local population, we will share a personalised feedback report with photos of the well and beneficiaries.
