ABOUT 100,000 people can now have access to clean and safe water close to their homes which is a starting point for any development activity, thanks to Water Mission International Tanzania.
He added, “If you are constant sick because of using unsafe water you cannot develop because it becomes impossible to concentrate in any economic activity.” He said the access to clean and safe water was still a serious problem in many parts particularly in the rural areas
. “Since we opened our offices in Tanzania, we have worked with a number of needy communities to implement water projects that have improved their lives. However, the demand is quite big with limited resources,” he said.
He mentioned areas that have benefited from Water mission support as Kilimanjaro, Dodoma, Kigoma, Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Mbeya, Babati, Geita, Arusha and Kagera. He said, Water Mission works with needy local communities which approach them for support by developing projects and implementing them jointly.
“Before implementing any project we spend some time to train locals on how they can manage their projects so that they can sustain it once we step out. Through this approach, our projects have become successful,” he said.
He added, one unique point about Water Mission it offers water that meet World Health Organisation (WHO) standard for drinking water in all its projects. Water Mission International is a non-profit Christian engineering ministry providing sustainable safe water solutions,
through a Christian world view perspective, to people in developing countries including Tanzania. With a mission to honour God by developing, implementing and sharing best-in-class safe water solutions that transform as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible, the organisation opened its office in Tanzania in 2013
