Project: Increasing clean water access in Tanzania through community-managed boreholes

In the last three weeks, we commenced water boreholes with the goal of drilling and building 7 boreholes in schools in Tanzania.

The survey has done for 3 schools namely Tumaini, Mwenda and Nyaruhande B primary schools in Kigoma Tanzania.

After the survey, one borehole has been completed providing clean water to over 1100 pupils who used to walk 2km to the nearest water source.

In the last three weeks, we’ve manufactured 7 hand pumps which will be installed to the forthcoming boreholes expected to be drilled. Each borehole, will be serving more than 1000 pupils and school workers improving academic and health of the beneficiaries.

In the next ten (10) days, more boreholes at Mwenda and Tumaini schools will be completed.
