Drinking water delivery coordination in Kenya

Coordinate delivery of sealed drinking water from a verified supplier.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional coordination route: ten original sealed 20 litreMaisha water units delivered to five offices, two each. KETEPA’s catalogue lists a 20 litrepack, but current availability and whether the supplied SKU is returnable must be confirmed. The coordinator sells a delivery service for supplier-sealed units; there is no water treatment, refilling, repacking or unsupported purity certification.

Who is the first customer?

Offices and households on a manageable route.

Test the offer

Confirm supplier authorization and traceability, then test a short delivery round.
