Innovation: Africa – Israeli Technology. African Expertise. Shared Impact
There is one charity that gives donors the ability to change the lives of so many people and witness firsthand the opening of the taps of clean water for the first time.
Innovation: Africa has done it 1,400 times across Africa.
Innovation: Africa is a non-profit organization that brings Israeli solar-powered water and energy technology to rural African communities, transforming villages with sustainable solutions. In rural villages, women and children walk long distances daily for unsafe water. Girls miss school. Women cannot work.
Then comes the moment of change.
Companies, foundations and individual donors choose the village they want to help. They come for the opening of the taps. They see the dirty drinking water from before, and witness the flow of clean water for the first time. It is concrete. It is real. It is transformational.
And they do it with the local communities, with local workers and local contractors.
Community members help determine tap locations and participate in construction. Local engineers, technicians and contractors—more than 80 employees, the majority based in Africa—build and maintain systems.
This combination of Israeli technology, African expertise and community participation creates projects designed to last.

THE SOLUTION: $85,000. Clean Water for 3,000–10,000 People

Innovation: Africa drills deep to reach clean groundwater and uses solar energy to pump it into elevated tanks. The water flows through pipes to different taps constructed and placed across the village.
Simple. Concrete. Real.

TRANSPARENCY
Each solar water pumping system connects to an Israeli-designed remote monitoring system. Teams, donors and governments see live on the Innovation: Africa website exactly how much water is being pumped in each village, every day. The system tracks energy and water delivery in real time. If problems occur, donors are alerted and local professionals respond instantly.
REAL IMPACT: Providing Clean Water for the First Time Changes Everything

Climate resilience cannot be achieved without the energy to pump water. Innovation: Africa understands this, and their track record proves it.
Building a system is the beginning. Keeping water flowing is what matters.
Innovation: Africa has received multiple awards, including recognition from the United Nations for innovative technology, transparency and development.
