The high demand for clean water access is clear in Olmoran with over 450 households registering to use the new system in the first three days. This excitingly marks our expansion into Laikipia, the third county in Kenya that eWATER is working with, and is a significant step towards providing 24/7 water access to the whole community.

Access to water in Olmoran, Laikipia, is a major challenge. Most of the community relies on a single water kiosk with limited water available, and it’s untreated. Resulting in long queues and health risks for the community. As of yesterday, two Smart Taps became operational 24/7, providing immediate relief from the long wait times and clean, safe drinking water. Registrations have begun, and the installation of the remaining community Smart Taps will begin shortly.

Exciting update from our newest county in Kenya - Laikipia! The Kiamariga borehole has been successfully drilled and water quality tests have come back excellent. With civil works underway and groundbreaking complete, the project is moving quickly. We look forward to seeing the progress of this system and the positive impact it will have on the community.

This week marks our final Gathigiriri registrations—and our biggest ever! Almost 1500 registrations in just three days across the villages Kirogo, Block and Kamuchege, including a record high of 618 in one day! Each registration represents an entire household, meaning we reached approximately 6,500 people. We can’t wait to see Gathigiriri in full action!

A big thank you to the dedicated CHPs (Community Health Practitioners) in Gathigiriri! Their community engagement and local expertise have been instrumental in eWATER’s rollout—encouraging new users, addressing questions, and building trust. These photos, taken by the CHPs themselves, highlight their efforts in mobilising the community and the positive impact of clean water on health and well-being. BWT Group

We are proud to announce that Murubara Primary School in Gathigiriri Ward has gained access to clean, safe drinking water through the installation of an eWATER Smart Tap. Previously students had to walk to a nearby contaminated river to collect drinking water. With the new eWATER Smart Tap at the center of the school, clean water is now easily accessible to all students and staff. At eWATER, we recognise the critical role that clean water plays in the health, well-being, and development of children. To support schools in providing this vital resource, we are proud to offer a subsidised rate to all schools to encourage widespread adoption. During the installation, Murubara Primary hosted a talent show with neighboring schools. The eWATER team loved the performances and sharing water with everyone. Excitement filled the air as teachers and pupils celebrated the water being turned on! BWT Group
