Drop Access, established in 2021, is a Kenya-based manufacturer of ‘VacciBox’, an innovative vaccine preservation and cooling solution designed for both human and animal health sectors. Supported by Villgro Africa and DeveloPPP, the company develops portable, lightweight units equipped with real-time IoT controls. Notably, Drop Access manufactures 100% of its units locally, procuring over 70% of components within Kenya, and has already sold 60 units. It’s latest initiative, with funding from PREO, introduces a cooling-as-a-service model, aiming to provide 100 solar-powered refrigerators to health facilities. This approach can offer considerable advantages, including increased vaccination rates and substantial cost savings by reducing vaccine wastage. The solar-powered refrigeratorswill be provided to public health facilities in Kenya at an affordable cost of just $4 per day, with the potential to improve vaccine distribution and storage in the region while supporting local manufacturing and utilising renewable energy.
