Who We Are
Maji Rafiki is more than a name, it’s a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. Rooted in Swahili, “Maji” means water and “Rafiki” means friend. Together, the name represents our commitment to being a trusted ally in delivering clean, affordable water where it’s needed most. We’re a social enterprise that believes water is not just a basic need, it’s a right.
We are a community-driven brand on a mission to transform water access in Tanzania through smart technology, local empowerment, and sustainable innovation. By blending real-time IoT monitoring with inclusive design and a franchise-based model, we ensure that every drop reaches the people who need it—safely, affordably, and reliably.
Whether you’re a resident, entrepreneur, partner, or supporter, Maji Rafiki invites you to be part of a movement that values resilience, equity, and impact—one drop, one station, one community at a time.
