Eseye’s technology connects industrial, vending, banking and smart city customers globally, but how well does it work in practice? Well enough for even the most challenging environments and for eWaterPAY and Eseye to win the Global Mobile Awards 2018 for the Outstanding Mobile Contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Eseye has enabled entrepreneurs to deliver a new business model for the provision of freshwater to remote villages in developing countries. The business problem lies in remote villages, where there is no clean water supply and children have to walk to the local bottling plant to get water. Then they carry it home in plastic cans on their heads. All of which means the kids’ schooling is interrupted because they’re too busy carrying water.Here’s the business model. There’s a small plastic disk equipped with RFID tag. You put a small amount of money on the disk by holding it against your mobile phone – African network operators lead the world in providing mobile money and payment services. Tap users touch the RFID tag against the water charging unit for a small affordable fee and water is dispensed.
