GadgetroniX – Oikos Solar Water Pumps Project (Tanzania)

The KISIMA project, a partnership between the NGO Oikos East Africa and the company GadgetroniX, replaced inefficient diesel-powered pumps with AC current solar water pumping systems in 11 communities within Tanzania's Manyara Region. The project provided safe and sustainable water access to over 240,000 people, reduced operational costs, and included training for local institutions to ensure long-term water management and climate resilience.

• The KISIMA project targeted 11 communities in the Kiteto and Simanjiro districts to replace diesel-powered pumps that were inefficient and expensive to maintain with three solar-powered water systems.
• The installation of AC current solar water pumping systems resulted in safe water access for more than 240,000 people and lowered operational expenses compared to previous diesel systems.
• To ensure the sustainability of the water systems and improve community resilience to climate change, the project provided training to local institutions on water management.
