What the Technical Phase Is (and Is Not)

The Gashora technical phase prepares the community water system: testing, engineering, and community partnership.

Lake Mirayi, Gashora Sector, Bugesera District — the intended source.

Validation, not construction

The phase includes water testing with qualified partners, site and hydraulic assessment, GIS mapping of service gaps, and institutional and approval mapping.

Its output is a defensible implementation case: a confirmed source and site, a treatment basis determined by evidence, a scoped budget, an operating plan, and a partnership pathway.

One system, many access points

SAquaSolve is building toward a centralized, solar-powered treatment system in Gashora that distributes safe water to multiple community access points, with Lake Mirayi as the intended source. Testing calibrates the treatment design to the water; it does not decide whether to build.

A detailed, quotation-backed construction budget follows source testing and site-specific engineering, so the build is done right.
