water entrepreneurs Programme
Our mission is to improve the quality and availability of water in isolated communities. Budding entrepreneurs enrol onto our training programme, where they learn the technical skills necessary to install, repair and maintain a variety of water pumps and establish a small scale business. Upon completion of training, which includes a visit to our own workshop in Lilongwe, they receive the necessary tools and safety equipment.
Solution
From there, they embark on business training where they will gain skills in sales, marketing, book-keeping, networking and negotiation; equipping them with everything they need to run a viable business. They receive on-going mentoring for two years which enables them to strengthen their skillset and increase their output, making their business, and water point functionality, sustainable.
