Nano Hydro Ltd was founded in Nairobi in 2010 by a team of Kenyan hydrogeologists and civil engineers who saw — first hand — the water access crisis facing millions of Kenyans. Unreliable municipal supply, expensive water trucking, and inadequate infrastructure were not abstract policy problems; they were the daily reality for homes, farms, schools, and businesses across the country.
The founding vision was simple: make professional borehole drilling accessible to every Kenyan, in every county, at a price that works. That vision led to the creation of our Lipa Pole Pole instalment financing plan — one of the first in Kenya's drilling industry — which has since enabled hundreds of families and businesses to own their water source without needing full upfront capital.
Today, Nano Hydron operates across all 47 counties of Kenya with a fleet of modern DTH drilling rigs, a team of licensed hydrogeologists and engineers, and a track record of over 500 completed borehole projects. We remain headquartered in Nairobi at Nyaku House, Hurlingham — but our work is felt from Turkana to the Coast, Busia to Mandera.
