The project will take place in the July/August 2009 and will last approximately 8 weeks. It will involve travel to a remote rural west Tanzania and then living and working with the local community to complete the construction of the three systems.
The project has been proposed by the Development Service Department of the Diocese of Tabora Anglican Church whose projects include HIV/AIDS prevention and support, water and sanitation (of which this project is a part), environment conservation, household food, security, emergency and relief, and small income generating projects.
The project will involve the installation of guttering systems on each of the churches and the construction of underground ferro-cement water storage tanks, each with a capacity of 46,000 litres, to which the guttering will be connected. The three systems will provide water for a total of 1200 people who otherwise only have access to insufficient and unclean well water. It will also involve training in project management and sanitation for 12 people whose job will be to maintain the system, without needing external support.
The primary short term benefit of this project will be access to safe drinking water for 1200 villagers in the region. Long term benefits, however, will not only include improved health, hygiene and sanitation for locals, but could also include the propagation of the concept throughout the area, resulting in improvements in the quality of thousands of lives.
