En Mtwapa, Kenia, una ciudad costera de aproximadamente 90 000 habitantes, una granja de agua solar de GivePower ha proporcionado agua potable segura y asequible a una comunidad que durante mucho tiempo tuvo dificultades para acceder a ella. Para Happy Sidi, una madre de la localidad, la llegada del agua potable abri\u00f3 una serie de oportunidades de negocio, lo que demuestra c\u00f3mo el acceso a una necesidad b\u00e1sica puede impulsar un mayor crecimiento econ\u00f3mico para las familias y comunidades enteras.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n

En 2024, Happy Sidi, una madre local de dos hijos de Mtwapa, Kenia, solo intentaba llegar a fin de mes.<\/p>\n

Un d\u00eda, se dio cuenta de que unos contratistas estaban desbrozando la maleza y preparando el terreno para lo que pronto se convertir\u00eda en una granja de agua solar de GivePower. Esta bulliciosa ciudad costera, donde viven aproximadamente 90 000 personas, llevaba mucho tiempo enfrentando dificultades para acceder a agua potable, lo que generaba graves riesgos para la salud y dificultades econ\u00f3micas para los residentes.<\/p>\n

\"Un<\/p>\n

Fue entonces cuando me vino la inspiraci\u00f3n: el equipo necesitar\u00eda comida mientras trabajaba bajo el sol abrasador de la costa.<\/p>\n

As\u00ed que Happy Sidi puso en marcha un peque\u00f1o negocio de comida para llevar. Todos los d\u00edas les llevaba ugali, pescado y t\u00e9 a los trabajadores en la obra.<\/p>\n

Meses despu\u00e9s, comenz\u00f3 a fluir agua potable. Las comunidades cercanas acudieron en masa a la nueva granja de agua solar GivePower, donde por fin se pod\u00eda acceder a agua potable a un precio accesible. Las mam\u00e1s, los ni\u00f1os y los conductores de boda-boda (mototaxis) se convirtieron en algunos de los primeros clientes a medida que el lugar cobraba vida r\u00e1pidamente. A solo 200 metros de distancia, los conductores de boda-boda comenzaron a crear un nuevo punto de encuentro a medida que crec\u00eda la actividad econ\u00f3mica alrededor de la Granja de Agua Solar.<\/p>\n

Happy Sidi vio otra oportunidad: donde hay gente, hay hambre. Us\u00f3 sus ahorros para construir un peque\u00f1o puesto de comida, conocido localmente como \u201cKibandaski\u201d, que atend\u00eda a los conductores de boda-boda y a sus clientes. Esta vez, en lugar de cocinar desde su casa, llev\u00f3 su negocio directamente al lugar donde surg\u00eda la oportunidad.<\/p>\n

Entonces, GivePower comenz\u00f3 a enviar camiones cisterna para distribuir agua potable a zonas m\u00e1s alejadas de la comunidad. Happy Sidi se puso en la fila como todos los dem\u00e1s, pero mientras los dem\u00e1s esperaban, ella pensaba en el futuro. Se dio cuenta de lo lejos que a\u00fan ten\u00edan que caminar algunas madres y de lo r\u00e1pido que se agotaba el suministro de agua del cami\u00f3n cisterna.<\/p>\n

As\u00ed que Happy Sidi dio el paso m\u00e1s audaz de su vida. Compr\u00f3 un tanque de agua de 5,000 litros y abri\u00f3 un puesto de agua con licencia, lo que ayud\u00f3 a que sus vecinos tuvieran acceso a agua potable.<\/p>\n

\"Tres<\/p>\n

La historia de Happy Sidi refleja un desaf\u00edo que va mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de Mtwapa. Seg\u00fan ONU-Agua<\/a>, Hoy en d\u00eda, 3.6 mil millones de personas enfrentan escasez de agua, una cifra que se prev\u00e9 que aumente a m\u00e1s de 5 mil millones para el a\u00f1o 2050. Las granjas de agua solar de GivePower est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas para ayudar a satisfacer esta necesidad urgente. Estos sistemas, que funcionan \u00edntegramente con energ\u00eda solar, transforman el agua contaminada y no apta para el consumo en agua potable segura para las comunidades que la necesitan. En Mtwapa, el sistema \u00abSolar Water Farm Max\u00bb produce hasta 75 000 litros de agua potable al d\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Happy Sidi es m\u00e1s que una empresaria. Es un ejemplo de c\u00f3mo brindar acceso a necesidades b\u00e1sicas, como el agua potable, puede ayudar a abrir nuevas oportunidades y crear nuevas posibilidades tanto para las familias como para comunidades enteras.<\/p>\n

Como ella misma dice: \u201cGivePower nos trajo agua. El agua uni\u00f3 a la gente. Y la gente trajo negocios\u00bb.<\/p>\n
