About us

We make water points outlast the grants that built them.

Maji Systems designs and supports the Community Dispenser and the software around it. Most of our customers are NGOs; the rest are water committees and utilities.

Why prepaid

The money decides whether a water point lasts.

Our customers fund the borehole, the solar array and the water tower. Whether that investment lasts ten years or two depends on what happens to the money collected at the tap afterwards. With prepaid metering, every litre sold is accounted for and every payment reaches the account it’s meant for. A one-off grant becomes a water point that pays for its own upkeep.

We won’t pretend metering hardware ends corruption. It’s a real and persistent problem across the sector, with or without a system like ours. What the dispenser does is close the easiest ways for revenue to go missing, and make the rest much harder to hide.

The team

Built by people who have run water systems themselves.

Our engineers have operated water systems in rural Africa, built digital payment systems, and designed military electronics for tanks. Between us we have worked through what rural operators deal with every day: heat, dust, humidity, long distances, a shortage of parts, and constant pressure to keep running costs down.

That experience is why the dispenser is deliberately simple, and why we stay in direct contact with the people who use it.

How we work

Four rules.

  1. 1

    Make the water point self-sufficient

    A water point that depends on the next grant is fragile. Prepaid metering collects the money for upkeep with every sale, so the site can keep running when the funding ends.

  2. 2

    Keep it simple and tough

    Dust, heat, humidity and long trips for spare parts are normal operating conditions, and so is keeping running costs low. We design for all of them, and for a technician with basic tools.

  3. 3

    Stay close to the people using it

    Water services work when the people running them are accountable for them. We support our hardware ourselves, and in Ghana alongside a partner we work with closely, rather than disappearing behind distributors.

  4. 4

    Use modern tools where they help

    Cellular modems, cloud dashboards and over-the-air updates are cheap now. A remote site is no reason to go without them.

Thinking about a deployment?

Whether you run two water points or two hundred, the conversation starts the same way: your sites, your tariff, and how payment is collected now.
