The Transformation

Institution Before Vajra vs. After Vajra

The difference between a school or health centre without water and one with a reliable borehole and solar system extends far beyond convenience — it affects health outcomes and community development.

Before — Without Reliable Water & Power

Girls missing 5 days/month of school — no water for sanitation
Health centre unable to perform minor procedures or deliveries
Diesel generator consuming 40%+ of facility operating budget
Communities walking 5km+ to unsafe water abstraction points
Donor projects abandoned after 2 years from poor documentation
County budget allocated annually for recurrent water trucking costs

After — With Vajra Water & Solar Systems

100% school attendance year-round — safe, private sanitation water
Health centre providing full clinical services with reliable water 24/7
Fuel budget redirected to medical supplies and teaching materials
Community collecting clean, treated water 200m from home at kiosk
Donor GPS records, water certs, and as-built drawings filed correctly
Zero ongoing water or fuel costs — WUA manages system sustainably

How It Works

From Procurement to Community Handover

A structured, accountable four-stage process designed to meet every government and donor requirement — from BOQ to final report.

Procurement Consultation & BOQ

We provide a detailed Bill of Quantities and technical specification for tender or direct procurement. All PPRA-required contractor compliance documents provided upfront: WRA licence, REREC certificate, tax compliance, insurance, and CR12.

Hydrogeological Survey & Design

Our licensed hydrogeologist conducts a site survey to locate the optimal borehole position. Full system design — borehole spec, pump sizing, treatment plant, piping, and solar array — provided before drilling commences.

Installation & Documentation

All works executed by licensed teams with photographic records at every milestone. Water quality tested by KEBS-accredited laboratory. GPS coordinates, yield data, and installation records compiled throughout for donor submission.

Community Handover & Training

Formal handover ceremony with minutes and attendance records. Water User Association trained on pump maintenance, water quality monitoring, and revenue collection. 2-year workmanship warranty on all installed works.

Testimonials

Institutions That Have Trusted Vajra Drill

Government and NGO clients across Kenya who rely on Vajra Drill for accountable, donor-compliant water and solar infrastructure.

"Our NGO implemented a 12-village water scheme in Turkana using Vajra Drill. Their documentation discipline was outstanding — every GPS coordinate, water quality certificate, and handover minute was filed correctly in donor format. Our USAID project audit passed without a single query. We've now contracted them for three subsequent WASH programmes."

Google Review

"Our boarding school of 820 students was buying water bowsers at Ksh 28,000 per load — sometimes two loads a week. Vajra Drill drilled a 160m borehole, installed a solar pump and 50,000-litre tank. We haven't purchased a single tanker load in two years. The KS EAS 12 water quality certificate was ready within 2 weeks of commissioning for our MoE inspection."

"Our Level 4 health centre was operating on two hours of generator power per day — rationing electricity for the maternity ward. Vajra Drill installed a 15kW solar system with battery backup. We now have 24-hour power, zero fuel expenditure, and our delivery room has reliable lighting at all hours. Our maternal health indicators have improved measurably since installation."

FAQ

Government & NGO Project Questions Answered

The most common questions from procurement officers, NGO project managers, and institutional decision-makers before commissioning a water or solar project.

Are you PPRA-compliant and able to participate in public procurement tenders?

Yes. Vajra Drill meets all PPRA contractor compliance requirements. We provide: Certificate of Incorporation, PIN Certificate, Tax Compliance Certificate (TCC), VAT Certificate, WRA Drilling Licence, REREC Solar Installation Certificate, Professional Indemnity Insurance, and CR12 director details. All documents are current and ready for national and county government procurement submissions.

What documentation do you provide for donor-funded WASH projects?

For NGO and bilateral donor projects we provide: GPS coordinates and photographs at every project milestone, borehole geological log and yield test data, KEBS-accredited laboratory water quality analysis confirming KS EAS 12:2014 compliance, as-built drawings, community handover minutes with attendance lists, WUA training records, and a formal project completion report. Our documentation format has been accepted by USAID, UNICEF, World Bank-financed, and bilateral donor-funded projects.

Does a community borehole meet KS EAS 12 drinking water standards?

Every borehole we commission is tested by a KEBS-accredited laboratory for the full KS EAS 12:2014 parameter suite — bacteriological, chemical, and physical. If the water exceeds limits (commonly for fluoride, iron, or turbidity in certain Kenyan aquifer zones), we design and install the appropriate treatment system before issuing the compliance certificate. We will not hand over a water system without a passing KS EAS 12 report.

How do you ensure community water systems remain functional after handover?

Sustainability is built into our handover process: we train a Water User Association (WUA) on pump operation, basic maintenance, water quality monitoring, and cash collection. We provide a simple O&M manual in Kiswahili and English. We also offer an optional annual maintenance contract for remote sites. Our 2-year workmanship warranty covers all installed works.

Can you manage a multi-village water scheme with piped distribution?

Yes — multi-village piped water schemes are among our most impactful projects. These involve high-yield boreholes, solar pumping, elevated or ground-level storage, and a piped distribution network with metered kiosks serving multiple villages. We design for water kiosk cost recovery, train WUA operators in metered sales, and provide full engineering drawings for county water asset registration. Schemes we have implemented serve populations from 500 to 8,000 community members.
