How VAMP Fi Can Help Nigeria Save Millions Lost to Non-functional Boreholes

A recent study conducted by the Network of Female Professionals in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (FEMinWASH) in Nigeria has revealed that the non-functionality of boreholes is costing the country $517,524 annually. This loss is caused by the non-utilization of the national strategy for Village Level Operation and Maintenance (VLOM) by contractors and technocrats, resulting in a waste of scarce resources that can be used to improve water supply to repair broken-down water infrastructure.
The lack of sustainable practices in water and sanitation service delivery is causing the nation to experience significant revenue losses. However, VAMPFi, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, may have a solution to tackle this problem holistically.
VAMPFi is a comprehensive solution for real estate managers that offers features such as asset management, energy performance, building maintenance, and data analysis. The platform is designed to help property managers stay organized, improve operations, and save money by using data-driven decisions.
One of the key devices utilized by VAMPFi is ultra-sonic flow rate monitoring devices. These devices aid in ensuring water supply infrastructure is working correctly, and waste can be tracked, reducing the loss experienced by the non-functionality of boreholes. With VAMPFi, local teams can be supported to run their buildings directly with in-house workers while maintaining high levels of service delivery, data, and cost savings.
85% of water infrastructure lifecycle costs on average will fall into the supply stage of the plant. With conventional building management solutions, companies can save up to 30% of running costs but require a capital investment of around $200,000. However, VAMPFi is the affordable alternative, with a capital cost in the range of $5,000 - $10,000. Implementing VLOM strategies through the VAMPFi platform is crucial for rehabilitating and repairing broken-down water infrastructure, especially in rural areas.
In conclusion, the inclusion of VAMPFi in the operation and maintenance of water facilities can promote sustainability and overall improvement of lives for the populace. With VAMPFi, companies and developers can empower in-house total facilities management services, reduce energy and operational costs, and increase property value. By leveraging the power of data analysis and IoT devices, VAMPFi provides a cost-effective solution to managing water infrastructure, reducing the loss experienced by non-functional boreholes.
