What We Do

We design, implement, and support projects that improve access to essential services, with a focus on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems.

Piloting, Consultancy,
& Market Support

Our integrated approach combines rigorous field piloting, expert consultancy, and strategic market support to bridge the gap between innovative ideas and sustainable impact. We specialize in designing and managing pilot projects for emerging WASH technologies and methodologies, providing the critical data and real-world validation needed to prove concepts and mitigate risks before large-scale investment.

This hands-on experience fuels our consultancy, where we provide end-to-end guidance—from hydrogeological scoping and implementation planning to community integration strategies. Beyond technical execution, our market support services help partners navigate the complexities of deployment, develop viable business models, and forge pathways to scale, ensuring that promising solutions don’t just work in theory, but thrive in the communities they are designed to serve.

Scoping and Feasibility

Every successful project begins with a clear vision and a grounded understanding of what is possible. Our Scoping and Feasibility studies provide this essential foundation for high-impact WASH initiatives. We begin by meticulously scoping the project, working closely with stakeholders to define precise objectives, geographical boundaries, and key performance indicators. 
This is followed by a comprehensive feasibility analysis that assesses the project from every angle: we conduct hydrogeological mapping to confirm technical viability, analyze financial models for long-term sustainability, and engage directly with communities to ensure social acceptance and integration. This data-driven process de-risks your investment, prevents costly missteps, and produces a detailed, actionable roadmap for an intervention that is not only well-planned but truly poised for lasting success.

Software Development

Effective technology is born from deep field expertise. In our role as a strategic consultant for innovative software solutions like WASHapp, we bridge the critical gap between software development and on-the-ground reality. We provide the essential sector knowledge that transforms a promising idea into a powerful, practical tool for communities and professionals.

Our contribution ensures that the technology is not only user-friendly but also culturally appropriate, addresses the most pressing real-world challenges, and integrates seamlessly into existing WASH workflows. By guiding development with data-driven insights from the field, we help create software that is truly fit-for-purpose, ensuring it delivers tangible value and drives efficiency in water, sanitation, and hygiene projects.

Products & Innovations

We bridge the gap between consultancy and tangible solutions by developing and sourcing specialized products and pioneering innovations. This includes providing complete turnkey systems, from solar-powered water pumps to advanced filtration units tailored to specific community needs. Our team actively pilots emerging technologies to validate their effectiveness and appropriateness for real-world field conditions. This hands-on approach ensures our partners have access to the most effective, reliable, and sustainable technology on the market. Whether it’s a proven hardware solution or a groundbreaking approach, we deliver the right tools to solve the toughest WASH challenges.

Special Projects

When a challenge doesn’t fit an off-the-shelf solution, we design and deliver one. Our special projects blend dependable products with tailored service models—scoping, rapid prototyping, pilot deployment, operator training, and ongoing support—so new approaches become reliable, everyday infrastructure. Transformation over transaction guides the work from first sketch to scale-up.

What We Take On

  • Hard contexts (salinity, contamination, off-grid, flood/drought risk)
  • Novel delivery models (pay-per-use, managed service, community O&M)
  • Technology trials and integrations (automation, telemetry, remote support)
  • Resilience retrofits for existing systems (efficiency, safety, uptime)
  • Institutional WASH upgrades (schools, clinics, utilities, conservation sites)

How We Work

  • Discover & design: field assessment, co-creation with stakeholders.
  • Pilot & prove: right-sized build, clear KPIs (uptime, water quality, cost recovery).
  • Train & support: operator coaching, maintenance plans, responsive service.
  • Scale or adapt: document results, refine the model, expand responsibly.

Example: AquaBot

One special project is the AquaBot—metered, token-enabled water points paired with storage, solar power, and automated dispensing to ensure reliable access and transparent revenue for upkeep and expansion. It’s a model of how we turn promising concepts into dependable, community-ready services.

Have a unique water challenge or an emerging technology to pilot? Let’s co-design a path from idea to impact.

WASH Infrastructure Implementation

We translate strategic plans into dependable infrastructure through turnkey delivery and lifecycle support. EAI manages anything from a segment to the full project, from feasibility and hydrogeological surveys, permitting, and engineering, to execution of boreholes, solar pumping, pipelines, elevated storage, and treatment systems. Where appropriate, we integrate automation and metered dispensing for performance tracking.


Beyond construction, we handle procurement and vendor integration, importation and last-mile logistics, commissioning and performance verification, maintenance with spares and warranty administration, and transparent reporting for funders and regulators. The result is efficient, reliable systems delivered on schedule and built to perform for the long term.

Products

Beyond strategic guidance, we provide the critical hardware and tangible innovations necessary to build resilient water systems. Our product offerings are carefully curated and field-tested to ensure they meet the highest standards of reliability and effectiveness in demanding environments. From advanced water treatment and filtration solutions to the essential components for borehole construction and solar pumping, we supply the building blocks for sustainable WASH infrastructure. This integration of consultancy and technology ensures a seamless transition from planning to implementation, providing our partners with a single, trusted source for their entire project lifecycle.
