Day Light Solar Energies created WaterCredit, a smart tech platform that helps rural Ugandan communities get clean water systems. Sandra Nabakka built this tool to help cooperatives, schools, and community groups get loans when banks normally ignore them. The platform makes water project funding simple from start to finish.
WaterCredit uses Sandi AI, a chatbot that speaks local languages on phones or computers. Groups register through the chatbot, the company checks their information, they enter what water systems they need, and the AI judges whether they can pay back loans. The system finds the best loan offers right away, groups pick one they like, Day Light Solar installs their water system, and groups pay back the loan over time with an easy start period.
The company works with local leaders to find communities that need help most. The chatbot looks at mobile money use, savings habits, and payment history to create digital credit scores. This lets them offer loan packages that match what each group can afford.
Many farmer groups, savings clubs, and women-led organizations across Uganda already use WaterCredit. It helps them buy solar pumps, irrigation systems, water tanks, filters, and washing stations without traveling far for paperwork. The company plans to expand this service to other African countries soon.
