We will further our commitment to Pump Aid’s Beyond Water initiative by establishing a shared value partnership. Through this collaboration, our UK-based teams will leverage their expertise to support and enhance Pump Aid’s work in Malawi. This partnership will support their efforts to reach over 400,000 people across 1,000 rural villages with effective repair and maintenance services, resulting in a 99.8% functionality rate for water infrastructure – far above the national average of just 60%.

Through our support, we are investing in upskilling and equipping local mechanics to deliver affordable services to communities, improving technology to predict breakdowns and support supply chain efficiencies, and undertaking initial repairs on non-functional infrastructure to bring them into the Beyond Water ecosystem.  

Building on Renewable World’s current work in Kenya’s Kajiado County through the 2024 E4H2 project, of which Rotork is a valued and vital supporter, the E4H3 project will leverage clean energy technologies to enhance the availability and quality of health services for over 42,000 people in the catchment areas of 10 energy-poor, off-grid remote health facilities. E4H3 is a three-year initiative, starting January 2025 and concluding December 2027. Rotork’s support in 2025 will help Renewable World deliver round-the-clock health services powered by clean energy for 8,400 people served by the first two targeted facilities.

E4H3 will enable the increased uptake of 24/7 healthcare at 10 facilities for the 42,000+ people who rely on them. It will provide the necessary solar power systems to electrify the health facilities, promote their services within local communities, and support staff and stakeholders in managing facilities and technologies for the future. This will support critical functions such as vaccine refrigeration, lighting, laboratory testing, and round-the-clock care. Community awareness will also be a key component, with campaigns conducted through ‘barazas’ (community meetings) and medical camps to inform communities about available health services.
