yeah
00:00:01
a good morning and a uh do you hear me
00:00:06
okay good morning uh my name is jenny about button i'm the
00:00:09
managing director of wood too much so we do my is a service
00:00:13
provider ending to establish a new business model in the rural water supply
00:00:18
sector in africa uh the idea is to create a public service delegation
00:00:24
to a private operator like it exist in urban area it's
00:00:28
but the educated to rural areas we say what's up by volume
00:00:32
in order to guarantee the operation of the equipment and availability of water
00:00:38
i will do my spot of the audience solution group together with van yeah droll
00:00:43
uh we have been involved in the role water supply sector in africa for almost fifty years
00:00:49
and the uh we've created more than a hundred thousand what the point supplied
00:00:55
more than fifty million people today we have always been seen as by any
00:00:59
us but considering our approach of the sector boss on the technical point of
00:01:05
view or even on the management point of view but our vision is really to
00:01:11
say that we have to find solution for rural areas in africa everything starts
00:01:18
from there and if we are not able to find solutions it may this start
00:01:24
belies totally the continent and even for the the study lies europe even if
00:01:29
today's news remembers that are out does not did i forgot to be disturbed lights
00:01:36
so what we did is we are using eco friendly technologies we are using
00:01:44
new business new model for cash less payment because we have to remember that
00:01:50
people are not a lot of money conventions are low tar issue remain
00:01:56
affordable for everybody and the system should be economy viable to be sustainable
00:02:02
so we developed cash less technology which is working
00:02:06
off line we have solar energy and we even developed
00:02:10
uh not too many think stand pipe soul are to make sure
00:02:14
that we can implement the model in areas where security is not guaranteed
00:02:21
you know the that way we are not exposing the people so in the
00:02:26
uh uh uh as a service provider we are in malibu key
00:02:30
now could you are we are about to start in been in
00:02:33
where we we we are going to start managing two third of the countries
00:02:38
in the rural areas for a ten year period and the light green countries that you see
00:02:43
on the map out those we have started discussing with them about implementation of such a model
00:02:50
impacts are huge we have the impact concerning
00:02:56
the low maintenance cost we have to make sure that meant that has caused a little once
00:03:01
again to have a sustainable model we use eco
00:03:05
friendly technology soul are we have to work on
00:03:09
reliability of the different components to make sure that once again it will work
00:03:15
the maintenance cost there is a lot of
00:03:18
transfer of know how because all operation and maintenance
00:03:22
activities will be made locally so we have to work to be on that and ways this model
00:03:29
uh is specially with a fully automated one with the stand pipe we can reach areas which are
00:03:36
remote uneven small where nobody oh classical approach will not do it
00:03:44
so the group is made mentally of two company like i say or the l. e.
00:03:48
z. holding the only a supplier would do my service provider we have subsidiaries in africa
00:03:55
we are about eighty having friends have enough we got twenty million euro turnover
00:04:01
many partnership over these long period of fifty years
00:04:06
we don't know as with governments international financing institutions and recently
00:04:12
we had a strategic partnership with oxford university we are working together
00:04:17
to try to find a way to increase paid consumption of
00:04:22
water which is the key point for the sustainability of the model
00:04:28
and the impact of what we've been doing we are members of several association
00:04:35
uh uh uh international off range the all that you
00:04:39
get to to the roller or what a sector sorry
00:04:43
so what we need we need investors ready to understand
00:04:50
our model and to take the risk with us because this is a risky business
00:04:55
but it is crucial like i said earlier for humanity everything starts from rural africa
00:05:02
massive immigration there or is it so we have to find we must find
00:05:08
solution for those people you know that for the sake of humanity i would say
00:05:14
so happy here for two days you can have uh something i was stand in the market place i be here
