Peterborough, ON, Canada –
The JV will establish a subsidiary in Africa with a 51%/49% ownership Rainmaker/Carlaw that will implement Water-as-a-Service (WaaS) solutions in Kenya, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. It will establish an urban initiative to work closely with the private sector and global humanitarian organizations to identify the areas experiencing severe water scarcity and then define appropriate and innovative solutions.
Rainmaker CEO Michael Skinner stated, “The agreement to supply our decentralized water solutions with our partner the Carlaw Group is another example of how Rainmaker’s technology can provide cost-effective water on-demand on an industrial scale to the world’s most water-scarce regions. Carlaw’s extensive relationships and working experience throughout Africa gives us direct access to critical infrastructure partners and industrial sectors to deliver massive offtake opportunities for our Water-as-a-Service solutions.”
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “2.2 billion people around the world do not have safely managed drinking water. Safe and readily available water is important for public health, whether it is used for drinking, domestic use, food production or recreational purposes.” Non-profit organization, Water.org affirms, “The water crisis is a health crisis. Nearly 1 million people die each year from water, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases.” Global access to safe, clean drinking water would not only drastically improve the health of millions, but according to WHO, it would also be a massive contributor to poverty reduction and economic growth.
However, access to fresh water is not enough; Rainmaker understands that there is much more involved in delivering a modern clean water solution. In using Air-to-Water units, water produced is environmentally and socially sustainable, meaning it’s free of chemicals with zero to small carbon footprints. Rainmaker’s urban initiative will provide an approach to clean water and save lives.
Carlaw Group Ltd.’s Director Perry Kotsopoulos says, “The global water crisis has a crippling effect on social and economic conditions throughout Africa. It will continue to devastate under-served and struggling communities’ access to an essential human right – clean water. The Carlaw Group is committed to working with Rainmaker to deliver innovative channels of distribution allowing for quick access to such a critical resource.”
