SMART Centre Malawi

At the CCAP SMART Centre we are expanding the use of low-cost WASH technologies in Malawi. We provide training for local entrepreneurs in both production and business skills regarding SMARTechs: Simple, Market based, Affordable, Repairable Technologies. These SMARTechs include manual well drilling, a range of hand pumps, drip irrigation systems, rain water harvesting, sanitation, groundwater recharge and household water treatment. The Centre has a range of innovative low-cost technologies, and the skills and facilities to test innovations before introducing them to the market. To ensure our quality, we take responsibility for long-term follow-up. The CCAP SMART Centre encourages self-supply; referring to water supply mainly financed by the users themselves. A privately-owned water supply can be used by its owner to make a profit as well. Our entrepreneurs are trained to perform maintenance, and with spare parts available we created a profit-based sustainability. Training local entrepreneurs contributes towards our vision: ‘Safe water for drinking, water for productive use and sanitation with a focus on people in rural areas in Malawi.’ We are part of the SMART Centre Group, an international network of SMART Centres.
