WaterEquity Backs SunCulture With $5m

Key Figures & Findings: WaterEquity an asset manager dedicated to mobilizing private investment for the water and sanitation sector, has committed $5 million from its newly launched Water & Climate Resilience Fund to Savant Group Ltd., the parent company of SunCulture. The investment is targeted at scaling SunCulture’s solar-powered irrigation and water pumping systems, which replace costly diesel and manual alternatives. These technologies not only support agriculture but also provide reliable access to groundwater for cooking, cleaning, and drinking across rural Africa.

Future Implications: This investment could accelerate solar irrigation adoption across Africa, reducing dependence on diesel pumps while strengthening food and water security. If successful, the model could serve as a pathway for other regions to combine clean energy with climate-resilient water access by 2030.
