One billion people lack access to clean drinking water. This problem is acute in rapidly growing urban communities across Sub-Saharan Africa, where population growth is outpacing the development of supporting water infrastructure.To solve this, Majicom is developing a state-of-the-art water kiosk, that stores, purifies, and dispenses clean affordable clean water via the use of solar energy. It is underpinned by our flexible water purification toolkit, specifically designed for resource-constrained settings. Our innovative purifiers utilise sunlight (directly or through solar panels), enabling our kiosks to operate at ultra-low power and costs. This is combined with a digital ecosystem that coordinates remote monitoring of usage and performance, revenue sharing, digital payments, and rewards. These kiosks will be installed on university campuses in Tanzania and will offer end-users (students) water at a 50% discount vs bottled water whilst providing universities with a source of income through a revenue share.This project will focus on developing Majicom's novel advanced-material-enabled purification technology into a functional prototype for in-field testing, and the design for the manufacture of the digital kiosk architecture for commercial trials in 2023\.Majicom's mission is to create better local health outcomes and a significant reduction in CO2 emissions through the use of solar power and avoidance of single-use plastic (we aim to save 1570 tonnes of CO2 per year by 5 ). The project will support highly skilled jobs in the UK for R&D and manufacturing and strengthen the UK's position as a technology leader in water and environmental technologies.

10亿人无法获得清洁饮用水。这一问题在撒哈拉以南非洲地区快速发展的城市社区尤为严重，那里的人口增长速度超过了配套水基础设施的发展速度。为了解决这个问题，Majicom正在开发一种最先进的水亭，通过使用太阳能来储存、净化和分配清洁、负担得起的清洁水。它以我们灵活的水净化工具包为基础，该工具包专门为资源受限的环境设计。我们创新的净化器利用阳光（直接或通过太阳能电池板），使我们的售货亭以超低的功耗和成本运行。这与数字生态系统相结合，协调远程监控使用和性能，收入共享，数字支付和奖励。这些售货亭将安装在坦桑尼亚的大学校园里，为最终用户（学生）提供比瓶装水便宜50%的水，同时通过收入分成为大学提供收入来源。该项目将专注于将Majicom的新型先进材料净化技术开发为现场测试的功能原型，并为2023年的商业试验设计制造数字亭架构。Majicom的使命是通过使用太阳能和避免使用一次性塑料，创造更好的当地健康成果，并显著减少二氧化碳排放（我们的目标是到5年每年减少1570吨二氧化碳排放）。该项目将为英国的研发和制造业提供高技能工作岗位，并加强英国在水和环境技术方面的技术领先地位。
