Our Story
Providing safe water to isolated and forgotten villages living in harsh geographical terrains has been at the heart of our co-founders’ vision for safe water for all in rural Malawi.
Aware of the technological barriers to this vision, our co-founders started experimenting with using local materials to create easily moveable light manual drilling rigs and taking them to isolated villages not accessible by drilling vehicles.
A challenging journey that excited our co-founders but reaching out to such excluded villages and offering a practical solution to their safe water access barriers was highly motivating to their goal to service.
