We at EWB-Tanzania, know that any successful community project often requires collaboration between the community, local organizations, NGOs, government agencies, and other stakeholders. The idea is to ensure that the initiatives truly reflect the needs and desires of the community.
We’re working across Tanzania to provide access to clean water and reliable sanitation in schools, villages, communities and health care facilities. Without the basic facilities, and as a result of poor sanitation, hygiene behaviour and inferior water quality, communities often get infectious but preventable diseases.
Borehole well drilling at Chagu Village – Kigoma
This project is based in Chagu Village, Mtegowanoti ward, Uvinza district, Kigoma region in Tanzania with a population of about 10,000 people.
Currently, individuals living in Chagu have to walk over 2 kilometres to obtain water from nearby lakes and existing shallow water wells. Chagu Village experiences a dry season starting from July to January.
The Community of Chagu Village, the Primary School and the existing Medical Clinic do not have access to water for their daily use, they are fetching water from the nearby lake – Nyamagoma.
Women and children endanger their lives by going to fetch water from the existing Nyamagoma Lake, which has many Crocodiles.

Safe Clean Drinking Water Filtration System for Collegian Sister’s Orphanage Schools – Morogoro
The primary objective of this project was to research, develop, and implement effective water filtration technologies that can remove contaminants and provide safe drinking water to communities in need.
This project has the potential to create a significant positive impact by providing access to safe drinking water, thereby improving public health outcomes and reducing waterborne diseases. The implementation of sustainable filtration technologies had empowered communities to take control of their water resources and contribute to the overall development of the region.
