KAMPALA, Uganda — Uganda Baati Limited and Crestanks Limited discussed a strategic partnership Wednesday to promote rainwater harvesting solutions across Uganda.

The meeting at Uganda Baati’s headquarters focused on raising awareness about the benefits of rainwater harvesting and providing complete solutions for communities.

Crestanks Limited, a leading manufacturer of safe water tanks and storage solutions, would provide water storage systems to complement Uganda Baati’s roofing sheets.

“It is critical for Uganda Baati to partner with Crestanks Limited to encourage Ugandans to adopt a culture of rainwater harvesting for homes, schools, and other institutions,” said Ian Rumanyika, head of external and corporate affairs at Uganda Baati. “The lack of proper rainwater collection systems is not only an environmental concern but also a financial burden, especially for institutions that rely on water donations while overlooking the potential of harvesting water from their rooftops.”

Through this collaboration, Uganda Baati and Crestanks Limited aim to offer a comprehensive rainwater harvesting solution where clients purchasing roofing sheets from Uganda Baati can easily access water storage systems from Crestanks, ensuring a complete rainwater harvesting solution.

“By working together, we can ensure that Ugandans receive comprehensive solutions to collect and store rainwater, promoting sustainability and reducing water-related expenses. Both Uganda Baati and Crestanks share common values, including a zero-tolerance policy on quality and a strong commitment to impacting the community positively,” Rumanyika added.

The partnership aligns with Uganda Baati’s mission to deliver trusted building solutions that are made with pride and care to provide superior customer value.

Moving forward, both companies will embark on an awareness campaign to promote rainwater harvesting and incentivize customers with tailored solutions for homes, businesses, schools, and healthcare facilities.
