GadgetroniX – Oikos Solar Water Pumps Project (Tanzania)

A case study detailing the KISIMA project in Tanzania, where GadgetroniX and Oikos East Africa replaced diesel-powered water pumps with AC current solar water pumping systems to improve water access and reduce operational costs.

• The KISIMA project, a partnership between the Tanzanian NGO Oikos East Africa and the distributor GadgetroniX, upgraded water infrastructure in 11 communities within the Kiteto and Simanjiro districts. The project replaced inefficient diesel-powered pumps with three AC current solar-powered water systems designed for low maintenance and long-term sustainability.
• The installation of solar water systems has provided safe and sustainable water access to more than 240,000 people, while lowering operational expenses compared to previous diesel-powered systems.
• The project aimed to increase community resilience and climate preparedness through the adoption of renewable energy and the provision of training to local institutions for sustainable water management.
