Start with a Starter or Plus kit: a mesh funnel over a container. Upgrade later with a roof gutter or a shared tank.

WATER STOKVELS
Save together.
Save together.
Everyone gets water.
Each member gets their own kit in turn, or four neighbours share one 1,000 L tank. getWet keeps the record: who paid, who’s next, and when the installer is coming.
- Money goes to your group’s own account or a regulated payment partner, never to us
- Everyone sees every payment and receipt
- Clear rules for missed payments and group decisions

FOR EDUCARES, SCHOOLS AND SPAZA SHOPS
Water for cleaning and cooking prep, on site.
A Group system with a 1,000 L tank, installed and serviced for you. Parents’ or traders’ stokvels can contribute, and sponsors can top it up.
FOR SPONSORS
Fund water you can see.
Match what families pay. Your money is released only when an installation is verified with a photo, a coordinator sign-off and the household’s confirmation. A live dashboard and an impact report support your social investment and B-BBEE records.
Questions
Can I drink the water?
Not straight from the container. The mesh keeps out debris, but it doesn’t remove germs. Boil or treat it first, or use it for washing, cleaning, flushing and gardens.
What if someone in my stokvel stops paying?
Your group agrees the rules upfront. getWet can track who has paid, pause the member’s turn, and help the group continue fairly.
Who holds the money?
Money can stay in your group’s own account or be handled by a regulated payment partner. Installers are only paid after work is confirmed.
Do I need a smartphone or data?
No. You can still work through a local agent, cash payment, voucher or group coordinator. Digital tools simply make it easier where available.
Can getWet add gutters too?
Yes. On the Meet the Kits section we include gutter and downpipe options, and we can quote according to your roof size and setup.
