From proposal to running site.

A repeatable sequence, tuned over nine sites in Kajiado and Makueni.

Eight steps, in this order.

Community proposal

A co op, entrepreneur or county gets in touch. We come out, meet the community, and try to understand the demand, the alternatives, and who is leading things.

Groundwater assessment

A hydrogeological survey, followed by test drilling. If the yield does not come through, we tell the community as early as we can and step back, because building a site that would eventually let them down helps no one.

Scenario planning

Yield, demand mix, tariffs, FRS, CAPEX and loan terms all get modelled on the planner. A base case, an optimistic case and a pessimistic case, all reviewed.

Franchise agreement

The franchisee’s 15 percent equity comes in. Roles, revenue split, standards and reporting are all in one document. Everyone signs it.

Build

Solar powered borehole, storage tank, kiosks, household connections, a bulk outlet where it makes sense, prepaid meters and connectivity for monitoring.

Launch with health

The community health workers run the launch. Hygiene, hand washing, safe storage and prepaid meter training all happen on the same day.

Operate

The franchisee runs the site. Operator, minor operations and maintenance, and customer service. The shared spares network is a phone call away.

Monitor and report

Sales, uptime and repairs stream into the shared dashboard. Every quarter, franchisee and platform reconcile the revenue split together.
