We are a ClimateTech company with a bold mission:
to achieve a sustainable balance between quality of life for communities, ecosystem preservation, and economic development.

Climate crisis triggers severe droughts, compelling the pursuit of resilient solutions to mitigate future impacts within the region.
With agriculture accounting for 72% of freshwater usage (UN-Water, 2021), there’s a significant opportunity for innovation in water security.
Protecting watersheds is the key to water and food security.

"Kilimo is a company that thinks, works, dreams and is passionate about contributing its know-how, knowledge, and extensive network in Latin America to optimize water use in agriculture, uniting environmentally committed companies with local farmers operating in the region's main basins."
