Build Magazine 25 Company: Mibawa Suppliers Email: [email protected] Phone: +254 772 707 800 Web Address: www.mibawa.co.ke Address: Siwaka Plaza next to Strathmore University, PO Box 74740-00200, Nairobi, Kenya Being involved in projects alongside international organisations and government agencies, Mibawa have constructed water treatment plants in addition to conducting hydrological surveys of vast swathes of Kenya. To date, Mibawa have equipped over 100 boreholes with pumping systems, including some that utilise solar power. Extracting water from up to 200 feet below the ground, to be pumped into vast storage tanks, is a fully automated operation that, Michael believes, is destined to transform the way that many rural Kenyans live their lives, from Dadaab to Wajir to Turkana. With a future plan based around continued sustainable growth injected by increased foreign investment, Michael suspects that increased competition in the market is on the not-too distant horizon. As to the ambitions of his company, Michael states humbly that hitting the USD 1,000,000.00 sales turnover by the end of their financial year would be a major milestone.
