Juamaji, Enactus Southampton

juamaji is a social enterprise within enactus southampton that operates in remote communities in kenya and malawi. the project empowers local entrepreneurs to set up their own sustainable fish farming businesses, while providing their entire community with clean water, to help fight famine, drought, and the spread of waterborne diseases. using an innovative solar distillation technique, the juamaji tent harnesses the power of the sun to evaporate muddy water, and turn it into clean, safe water; a single tent can yield up to 250 litres of clean water per day. by teaching its entrepreneurs to farm fish the ponds that lie underneath the distillation tent, juamaji enables them to create a stream of steady income for themselves and all those they employ, from selling the fish on the market, for which there is a high demand all year round. the income from the fish farming business is then used by the entrepreneurs to maintain their juamaji, provide for their families, and allows them to sell
