In 2015, Siemens Stiftung and Solarkiosk AG joined hands in helping to provide more people in remote areas of Sub-Saharan Africa with reliable access to safe drinking water and clean energy. This is how SolarFountain gGmbH was born.
With the help of its partners and supporters, SolarFountain has bundled the expertise and experience of both organizations with the aim of creating an innovative, comprehensive and sustainable supply structure in Kenya and beyond. This structure will be designed to markedly improve quality of life in African communities and give local entrepreneurs an opportunity to conduct business by employing a social franchise model.
