Sky Drop

Founded in January 2019, Sky Drop is an eco-friendly social enterprise pioneering sustainable water generation through Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs). Producing an average of 1,500 litres of clean drinking water per day, the company provides an off-grid, climate-resilient solution that reduces dependence on traditional water sources.

Its mission is to ensure universal access to safe, affordable, high-quality water, particularly for communities facing water scarcity. Powered by solar energy and supported by prepaid systems, Sky Drop serves households, schools, businesses, and rural communities through both bottled and refill services. Beyond technology, the enterprise drives social impact by creating jobs, empowering youth and women, and improving public health. As demand for safe water continues to grow, Sky Drop is positioning itself as a leading force in sustainable water generation across Southern Africa, with plans for expansion across the continent and beyond.
