Untapped - Community Water ATMs

It was such a great pleasure visiting the Howamwana Community Water Project - a Maji Safi Water kiosk that supplies purified water to the residents.

The alternative in the area is saline water, which while not entirely unsafe, has an unpleasant taste.

We look forward to financing the project with a water ATM to:
1. Ensure there is better accounting of the actual sales made
2. Each committee member is able to monitor the amount of water sold from their phones/computers
3. The kiosk runs 24/7 with or without an operator

While at it we also briefly attended a Water Management Committee Training courtesy of Siemens where the speakers touched on water sector reforms, governance, financial management, sustainability, etc.
