Safe drinking water supply in the village of Mambarare (area around Mgagao), Mgagao District, Arusha Region

The solution proposed by the waterkiosk foundation is to pump the water from the existing borehole to an elevated tank using a solar pump. The water is disinfected using a SuMeWa system and distributed via a third prepaid tap.
This project enables local people, together with local project partners, to generate income through online water taps, thus offering a sustainable solution.

To treat the groundwater in the borehole to make it drinkable and to install a third prepaid tap for residents and schoolchildren in addition to the two existing prepaid taps, so that clean drinking water is available at the extraction point for a small fee.
The project is to be implemented largely with the labour of the local population. In this way, the waterkiosk foundation turns those affected into participants.
