So this morning we loaded an OffGridBox onto a truck, drove to their village,
and unloaded the box on at the local school.
We also brought a big water tank to make sure we’ll never run out of water!
We immediately began installation, and made sure to involve women during this phase.
Our COO Davide locally tested the system with a remote monitor interface through the Wi-Fi straight from the box.
Then a water truck came to provide steady flow into the box because it’s dry season and there was no water!
We can use rainwater, boreholes, ponds, and rivers to fill the tank.
By the end of the day, the box is safe, locked, and ready to serve.
The very next morning our women box managers were trained to run the box.
The box was so quick and easy to set up that as a matter of fact by the end of the afternoon we were ready to depart.
Even though we are tired from a long day of hard work, it was easily overpowered by the happiness on the children’s faces as they saw their first drop of clean water.
“Just a simple story with a big idea. Let’s make clean water and renewable energy accessible and affordable in remote areas! ”
