Ubora is a social enterprise dedicated to mitigate the water crisis in underserved African cities. Our mission is to provide safe, affordable, and locally managed drinking water solutions that empower communities. We believe in a practical, inclusive, and environmentally conscious model that prioritizes reuse over waste, and opportunity over dependence.
Founded by a diverse team of African and international professionals, Ubora brings together technical expertise, field experience, and a deep commitment to social equity. Our stations are managed locally, creating jobs, fostering ownership, and building resilient communities from the ground up.
Access to safe water is still a daily struggle in many African cities. Bottled water is expensive and environmentally damaging. Infrastructure is lacking.
We combine ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis powered by solar energy and/or efficient backup systems. Our flexible tech ensures 24/7 production even in low-resource environments.
We package water in 20L refillable bottles reused over 30 times before recycling. This drastically cuts plastic waste and brings down unit costs.
Our community-based delivery model empowers local vendors to distribute water directly to households and small businesses.
