The BluRoot Model

At BluRoot, we believe lasting solutions come from within communities. Our approach connects local expertise with innovative practices to strengthen water systems from the inside out. We focus on identifying and supporting skilled small enterprises, setting clear standards of excellence, and building accountability through measurable outcomes. By fostering collaboration between local talent, institutions, and partners, BluRoot ensures that improvements in water access are sustainable, scalable, and rooted in community ownership.

  • It all begins with an idea, a belief that those closest to the problem often hold the solution.

  • When idea meets opportunity, systems shift, leaks becomes lessons, and innovation takes root.

  • Sustainability isn’t an outcome, it’s a rhythm

The BluRoot Urban Resilience Project

Turning Water loss into opportunity

The BluRoot Urban Water Resilience Project is our first demonstration of how efficiency can become catalyst for sustainability. In partnership with public partners in East Africa, this project focuses on reducing non-revenue water loss through leaks, aging infrastructure, and inefficiencies to improve system reliability and community resilience.

Rather than building new supply, BluRoot’s approach strengthens what already exists. The pilot integrates local enterprises, innovative technologies, digital tools, data-driven decision making to uncover hidden value in existing water networks. By proving that efficiency can drive growth, we aim to establish a model that can be replicated across cities facing similar challenges.

This project aims to recover up to 200,000 liters of clean water daily while creating 20+ new jobs through local enterprises.

OUR IMPACT

We measure progress not just by the water saved, but by the people and systems strengthened along the way.

Here’s how BluRoot’s model delivers measurable, lasting impact.

  • Every change begins with people. BluRoot identifies and trains skilled local technicians and small enterprises, turning them into the next generation of water systems leaders.

    Strengthen 5+ local enterprises equipped to serve utilities sustainably.

  • By utilizing innovative technologies, data, and community-driven maintenance, BluRoot pilot aim to cut physical water losses by 20% in two utility zones recovering up to 200,000 liters of clean water every day.

  • Reliable water means more than supply, it means trust.

    Our work reaches more than 10,000 residents through improved pressure zones, reduced downtime, and faster repairs

  • BluRoot’s model is designed for independence, not dependency.

    We’ve secured $25,000 of $75,000 needed to demonstrate a model that utilities and partners can scale independently. Each pilot lays the groundwork for long-term investment and self-sustaining water services.
