Our Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals

At Maji Rafiki, we are proud to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through smart technology, inclusive design, and strong local partnerships. Our IoT-powered water vending solution goes beyond providing clean water; it helps build healthier communities, promotes economic opportunity, and supports climate resilience across Tanzania. 

By tackling affordability, accessibility, and sustainability, Maji Rafiki contributes to long-term, system-wide change. Here’s how our mission to improve access to clean water aligns with key SDGs:

We provide 24/7 access to safe, affordable drinking water using smart vending machines equipped with real-time IoT monitoring. Our system ensures water quality for every individual.

Our franchise model empowers local entrepreneurs with sustainable income opportunities; creating jobs, driving inclusive economic growth and financial independence.

Our IoT-enabled water systems modernize infrastructure in underserved areas. With smart payments, real-time monitoring, and predictive maintenance, we deliver water more efficiently and transparently.

Maji Rafiki reduces reliance on overstretched urban infrastructure and expands water access in growing cities. Our project contributes to creating sustainable and resilient communities through improved water access.

Although our machines currently use grid electricity, they are solar-ready—allowing future upgrades to clean energy sources and supporting climate-resilient infrastructure with reduced emission.

Clean water means fewer waterborne diseases. By delivering safe drinking water, we help reduce health inequalities and improve community well-being, supporting sustainable livelihoods across Tanzania.
