A new, innovative, and long-lasting way for people in rural Africa to get water to drink.
The 6th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG6) of the United Nations is for everyone to have safe drinking water, good hygiene, and a clean place to live by 2030. In Sub-Saharan Africa, 55% of people who live in rural areas do not have access to water. UDUMA comes up with a real way to reach SDG6 in Sub-Saharan Africa. UDUMA gives African villages a reliable way to get water to drink. In a village that has given UDUMA the job of managing its drinking water, pumps that have broken down or are very old are being replaced with intelligent water points that can be tracked from afar to see how much water is being used and if there are any problems. Each person has an electronic card that makes it easy to pay for the amount of water they use. This method and the use of these new tools make it possible to run a business professionally: Getting drinking water to people in rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa is becoming a business that can make money.
