Mayim Water Project -
creating sustainable water solutions for Central Africa
March 11, 2016- Vancouver BC, Point Roberts WA-
Investorideas.com, a digital global news source covering leading sectors
including renewable energy and water, reports on the Mayim Water Project,
creating sustainable water solutions for Central Africa – Sub region, as World
Water Day approaches.
This year’s theme for World Water Day #Worldwaterday, being held March 22,
2016 is Better water, better jobs.
The Mayim water project represents a business and
investment opportunity, while ensuring better water quality to a large
population currently spending too much for water. The 2014 World Bank data
estimates a total population in the DRC of 74.87 million and 12 million living
in Kinshasa, the capital city. With the
average family spending between: $45 to $70 a month for drinking water, Mayim
is planning on offering a better and more affordable solution.
Mayim water distribution system was established in
2014 as Esobecorp water management program. Founder, Mr Jeremie Katunda, tells us that ,” Unlike most of
Southern African countries facing water crisis, scarcity and drought due to
climate change, the Central Africa sub region enjoying plenty of freshwater with
constant rains, but water crisis in this area is mainly the consequence of lack
of adequate water infrastructure and maintenance policy.”
He points out that “The major challenge facing the
sub region in relation to water management is the lack of a leading model and
coordination among authorities, stemming from an unclear definition of roles
and responsibilities.”
Mayim’s primary products include 750 ml still water
bottles and 1 000 litres still water in intermediate bulk containers (IBC).The
IBC can be attached to supply a household piping system or just a kitchen
faucet. Esobecorp’s services also include
water resource management and project management.
Jeremie has big ambitions for market penetration in
cities like Kinshasa for Mayim and also notes, “ Sub-saharan Africa water
demand is projected to rise by at least 3 per cent annually until the year
2020, a rate about equal to the region's population growth rate. “

“I
connected with Jeremie on Linkedin.com and though this was an interesting water
story “
World Water Day is an international observance and
an opportunity to learn more about water related issues, be inspired to tell
others and take action to make a difference. World Water Day dates back to the
1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development where an
international observance for water was recommended. The United Nations General
Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.
It has been held annually since then. Each year, UN-Water — the entity that
coordinates the UN’s work on water and sanitation — sets a theme for World
Water Day corresponding to a current or future challenge. The engagement
campaign is coordinated by one or several of the UN-Water Members with a
related mandate.
