Our Story

Founded in 2015 by Eng. Simon Mutiso, Drilsol (EA) Ltd. was built on a clear and powerful mission: to deliver reliable, sustainable water solutions to communities, farms, and businesses across Kenya. What began as a modest drilling venture in Machakos has grown into a respected groundwater solutions company serving clients throughout East Africa.

Simon Mutiso’s journey began with a deep understanding of the region’s water challenges and an unwavering passion for sustainable development. Recognizing the need for dependable, professionally executed water solutions, he set out to build a company driven by integrity, expertise, and innovation. Guided by his vision and technical background in hydrogeology, Simon brought together a dedicated team committed to transforming how water projects are delivered.

Today, Drilsol stands as a testament to that vision. The company has successfully executed more than 120 water projects—ranging from household boreholes to large-scale agricultural and commercial systems—always with a strong focus on quality, environmental stewardship, and lasting community impact. Drilsol continues to grow under Simon’s leadership, remaining a trusted partner for organizations and individuals seeking long-term, sustainable water solutions.
