The Maji Milele Portable Solar Water Pump — Fuel-Free Irrigation for Farmers Across East and West Africa
If you are a smallholder farmer in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, or South Sudan, you already know the cost of water. Diesel. Time. Effort. The Maji Milele Portable Solar Irrigation Pump changes all of that. Powered entirely by the sun — the one resource that never runs dry across the African continent — this pump delivers 8,000 to 10,000 litres of clean water per day with zero fuel, zero electricity bills, and zero complicated maintenance.
Simply place the pump in your river, stream, well, or pond, connect the included solar panels, and let the sun do the work. That is it. One person can set it up in minutes. No electrician. No mechanic. No engine oil.
Why Farmers Across Africa Are Choosing This Solar Pump
No Fuel. No Electricity. No Problem.
In many farming communities in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Sudan, diesel prices fluctuate and power outages are common. The Maji Milele solar pump draws power directly from sunlight using its included solar panels. On a typical East or West African day, the pump runs for 6–8 hours of peak sun, delivering up to 10,000 litres — enough to irrigate approximately 0.5 to 1 acre of crops per day, depending on your crop type and spacing.
Works Where Other Pumps Cannot
This pump is designed for real African farming conditions. It works in:
- Shallow wells — up to 12 metres deep (use 2 pumps in series to reach 24 metres)
- Rivers and streams — even with slow-moving or seasonal water flow
- Ponds and water pans — ideal for areas with rainwater harvesting
- Irrigation canals — community water systems and shared schemes
Water Reaches Your Entire Farm
With a horizontal water delivery range of up to 300 metres, you can pump water from a source at the edge of your land and reach every corner of your farm. No more carrying jerricans. No more manual watering. Connect a hose and let the pump do the walking.
Light Enough to Carry. Tough Enough to Last.
The complete kit — pump, solar panels, hose, and portability frame — weighs just 16 kilograms. One person can carry it, move it between fields, or transport it on a motorbike. This is not a fixed installation that chains you to one location. It goes where your water needs go.
