Water, sanitation and clean-energy finance

Find out whether an approved home or enterprise loan can support water, sanitation or clean-energy improvements.

Understand this category

Plan an improvement such as water storage, sanitation or an appropriate clean-energy installation, then check whether an approved finance product can support it. Prepare supplier information, installation costs and expected running expenses. Your D-SACCO will confirm eligible uses, terms and any security. A useful household or business improvement does not automatically qualify for a subsidy, preferential rate or guaranteed energy saving.

Who it may suit

Eligible households, businesses or organisations using an approved underlying finance product.

Practical uses

Water connections or storage, sanitation improvements, solar equipment and efficient cooking or business equipment where approved.

How to proceed

Identify an eligible underlying product; obtain the technical scope and quotation; assess affordability; review any approved offer; verify installation/disbursement; repay.

What to prepare

Identity/ownership or tenant consent; quotation and supplier evidence; permits where relevant; operating/maintenance budget and repayment evidence.

Questions and answers

Is this a special lower-rate loan?

Not unless the local approved product explicitly provides one.

Does finance guarantee installation quality?

No. Supplier warranties, technical acceptance and financial responsibilities must be stated separately.
