CCWT water treatment plant in Kaputa, Zambia

Communities are asking for clean water. We deliver.

Compact, solar-powered water treatment systems — installed, managed, and monitored across Africa

The Water Crisis In Africa

The numbers speak for themselves

Every 80 seconds

a child in Africa dies from contaminated water

400+ million

people in sub-Saharan Africa lack basic water services

18+ countries

experienced simultaneous cholera outbreaks (2023–2025)

After 2050

when sub-Saharan Africa is projected to achieve SDG 6 at current pace

$4–$12 return

for every $1 invested in clean water (WHO)

“The need is not debatable. The question is who will act.”

Compact Clean Water Treatment

Agri Platinum deploys proven, compact water treatment systems that convert contaminated water into safe drinking water. Solar-powered, low-maintenance, designed for African conditions — from rural villages to towns of 30,000 people.

Every installation is a complete solution: from water source to tap. We provide the boreholes, the treatment plant, the storage reservoirs, the distribution infrastructure, the solar power, and the trained local operators to run it all.

Complete Sanitation: We Also Provide Sewerage Treatment

Untreated sewage contaminates the very water sources communities depend on for drinking water. Agri Platinum addresses both ends of the cycle — clean water in, treated waste out.

Three sewerage plant types are available, including a non-electrical option for areas without power. All produce treated water for irrigation and sludge for compost — eliminating bucket toilets, pit latrines, and open defecation that contaminate groundwater.

Proven Across Africa

Our systems are operating in South Africa, Eswatini, and Zambia — from village scale to 3 million litres per day

How We Work

STEP 1

Community Need Identified

A community, government official, or district leader contacts Agri Platinum with a request for clean water.

STEP 2

Site Assessment

Water source evaluation, quality testing, population study, and engineering feasibility — everything needed to design the right solution.

STEP 3

Funding Secured

Each project is matched to appropriate funding partners. A tailored proposal is prepared with full costings and implementation plan.

STEP 4

Installation

CCWT system built, installed, and commissioned. Local operators are recruited from the community and trained on-site.

STEP 5

Ongoing Management

Agri Platinum does not walk away. We employ and train local operators, supply specialised treatment chemicals monthly, monitor performance remotely via satellite and cameras, and conduct regular site visits.

Every installation is funded as a complete package — the plant, the infrastructure, the staff, the chemicals, and a minimum of two years of operations. We do not build monuments. We build working systems that stay working.
