Tanzania is currently eWATER’s largest operation, where 663 eWATERtaps provide clean, affordable water to more than 230,000 people daily.
From crowded suburban neighbourhoods to rural villages, the rapid widespread adoption of eWATER taps speaks for itself.

The Power of Clean Water: Sophie’s Food Stall Success
Mama Ntilie is a popular business in Tanzania, with women running stalls that serve fresh food to locals and visitors alike. But Sophie’s stall stands out.
Sophie’s revolutionised her stall by using eWATER for every aspect of her business – from washing dishes to preparing food and serving drinks. “Having safe water all the time has transformed my business”, Sophie says.
This consistency has earned Sophie and her stall a reputation for exceptional hygiene and attracted a loyal customer base. Other Mama Ntilie stalls in Singida are taking note and beginning to adopt similar approaches to make customers happy and grow a thriving business.
eWATER’s Livestock Solutions:
Supporting Rural Economies
eWATER is essential for rural Tanzanian communities, where agriculture and livestock are vital for economic survival. eWATER re-configured its taps to work in traditional Masai cattle troughs. This means pastoralists can use their personal eWATERtags to give their cattle a consistent water supply, even in the toughest of conditions. This is especially important during the dry season where droughts and water scarcity lead to livestock mortality and economic instability. So far, cattle and their owners have benefited from over 10 million litres of reliable water released into drinking troughs.
Largest Global Smart Pre-Payment Technology Program in Partnership with RSK and The World Bank
eWATER, The World Bank and RSK – a leading provider of environmental and engineering services – formed a major collaboration, spearheading the implementation of the world’s largest pre-payment water meter programme.
This initiative provided essential water services to 88 villages and towns across Tanzania between 2018 and 2025. More than 500 eWATERtaps have been installed because of this.
