With over 18 years of specialized hydrogeology and 500+ successful borehole installations, Milimani translates donor and county capital into verifiable community health, educational parity, and climate resilience.
Community members across Kenya with potential daily access to improved, disease-free potable water.
Safe daily water pumping capacity delivered through zero-carbon solar and high-yield aquifer engineering.
Primary schools, secondary boarding academies, mission hospitals, clinics, and churches with on-site water.
Deep-aquifer boreholes drilled in Kenya’s most drought-vulnerable Arid and Semi-Arid Lands.
Pastoralist cattle, camels, and goats within reach of dedicated, sanitary watering corridors and troughs.
Mobilization capacity spanning ASAL, rural, peri-urban, institutional, and commercial sites.
Across Kenya, access to reliable water remains one of the biggest barriers to health, education, agriculture, and economic development.
When communities lack safe and dependable water sources, schools struggle to maintain sanitation standards, healthcare facilities face operational challenges, agricultural productivity declines, and households spend valuable time searching for water.
Milimani Drilling works with development partners to address these challenges through sustainable groundwater development, solar-powered water systems, water treatment, and long-term infrastructure support.
Schools struggle to maintain basic hygiene and sanitation, causing high absenteeism among students.
Clinics and maternity wards struggle with infection control when running water is absent or erratic.
Rain reliance causes recurring crop failures, livestock mortality, and severe local food insecurity.
Countless productive hours lost daily trekking to distant, contaminated open water pans.
In 9 out of 10 water-insecure Kenyan households, the burden of water collection falls directly on women and adolescent girls. Bringing reliable water to village kiosks and school grounds fundamentally transforms their trajectory.
We support organizations and communities working toward long-term social, environmental, and economic development across six priority pillars.
Reliable and safe water access for communities, schools, healthcare facilities, and public institutions.
Water infrastructure that creates healthier learning environments and supports student success.
Sustainable water systems for hospitals, clinics, maternity wards, and community health facilities.
Groundwater and irrigation solutions that improve food production and strengthen local economies.
Sustainable water infrastructure designed to reduce vulnerability to drought and changing climatic conditions.
Solar-powered water systems that reduce operational costs while supporting environmental sustainability.
Drilling in Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) requires specialized heavy rigs, advanced geophysical modeling, and water chemistry management. With over 200 successful ASAL boreholes completed, Milimani has the field-proven capacity to deliver where others fail.

Mobilizing drilling crews and engineering support throughout northern, eastern, and southern Kenya:
Reliable water access strengthens agricultural production, livestock health, household incomes, and local economic development. Our borehole, solar pumping, storage, and irrigation solutions help communities and institutions maximize productivity while building resilience against recurring drought cycles.
Cost-free daytime solar pumping powering extensive horticulture without expensive diesel generators.
Water-conserving pressurized distribution maximizing crop tonnage per cubic metre of groundwater.
Engineered troughs and float-valve automated replenishers sustaining large pastoral cattle and goat herds.
Piped communal kiosks bringing clean water closer to domestic clusters and schools.
Elevated steel towers and high-capacity storage tanks guaranteeing buffer reserves during maintenance.
Agronomic and hydraulic advice enabling cooperative farmers to achieve commercial viability.
Every phase—from geophysical surveys and drilling to solar equipping, storage towers, and long-term maintenance—is executed in-house by our certified team.
Certified geophysicists perform 2D resistivity imaging to map water-bearing formations and manage all WRA, NEMA, and county statutory approvals.
Survey detailsHeavy mud-rotary and DTH hammer drilling with Class 9/10 UPVC or stainless steel casing, precision gravel packing, and thorough physical development.
Drilling detailsTier-1 solar photovoltaic pumping systems paired with Grundfos or Lorentz brushless DC/AC submersible pumps for dependable off-grid operation.
Solar pumping detailsLaboratory chemical and bacteriological analysis benchmarked to WHO standards, with reverse osmosis, defluoridation, and chlorination treatment systems.
Treatment detailsEngineered steel elevated towers, pressed-steel panel tanks, and distribution pipe networks that reticulate water directly to taps, clinics, and schools.
Storage detailsReviving defunct or low-yielding donor boreholes with high-pressure air jetting, chemical acidization, re-casing, and pump overhauls to restore yield.
Maintenance detailsStep-drawdown and continuous 24-hour constant rate yield testing measuring aquifer recovery, water clarity, and sustainable discharge to accurately size pumping systems.
Test pumping detailsPressurized micro-drip and overhead sprinkler networks paired with automated solar pumping and storage to maximize crop yield per cubic metre of groundwater.
Irrigation detailsHigh-efficiency air-source heat pumps powered by solar PV, delivering continuous hot water at up to 75% less energy cost for hotels, hospitals, schools, and homes.
Heat pump detailsDevelopment partners, county governments, and institutional stakeholders rely on Milimani Drilling because we bring technical rigor, heavy plant capacity, and unyielding integrity to every water asset.
Hydrogeologists, drilling specialists, engineers, pump technicians, and project managers working together to deliver successful outcomes.
Modern drilling equipment capable of reaching depths of up to 700 metres in diverse geological conditions across Kenya.
Project implementation capability across Kenya's counties, including remote and challenging environments.
Support for WRA, NEMA, EIA, and water sector regulatory requirements from start to final sign-off.
Focused on long-term functionality, maintainability, and lasting community impact beyond ribbon-cutting.
Proven experience working with schools, churches, NGOs, county governments, communities, and private-sector organizations.
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, up to 35% of rural water points fail within three years due to fuel costs and abandoned maintenance. Here is how Milimani ensures multi-decade functionality:
Diesel generators fail because remote villages cannot afford fuel or mechanical repairs. Solar systems run on free, abundant sunlight with no fuel purchases.
We train local Water User Committees on fair tariff collection, transparent book-keeping, hygiene education, and conflict-free water scheduling.
We train local village technicians—with proactive inclusion of women—equipped with toolkits and spares to handle preventative maintenance.
We install globally proven pumps (Grundfos, Lorentz) with established spare parts distribution networks in Kenya, ensuring replacement parts within 48 hours.
From grassroots faith missions and rural primary schools to large county infrastructure tenders and agribusiness, our drilling rigs and water systems perform across diverse sectors.
