Our New Project AdoptionAfter months of hard work from our New International Project Team, we were approved to partner with the Naramat Village Community and Weston Turville Wells for Tanzania for a new project in Naramat, Tanzania. It's the start of an exciting journey!
Impact: Implement the best possible solution to provide clean running water.

The CommunityCurrently, the nearest water for the town’s 4000 residents is approximately an hour’s walk away, often more depending on the season. Every morning, some of the villagers - almost exclusively women - make this journey to get water for the entire village. All the water they use for drinking, bathing, and raising livestock must first be painstakingly hauled over precarious terrain. Even then, the quality of this stagnant, untreated water is unknown, though the villagers suspect it is unsafe.

PartnerPartnering with the Naramat Village Community and Weston Turville Wells for Tanzania, our goal will be to holistically evaluate the challenges facing this community and implement the best possible solution.

Our Plan
Based on the information we have gathered so far, we believe that a borehole/well is the best alternative for the community. In upcoming months we will send a team of 5 students and our Responsible Engineer in charge for our first assessment trip. Immediately when we arrive, we will run tests on the water they currently use.
The assessment trip will be followed by the design of our water purification system. Soon after we will travel to the community to implement our designs on our Implementation trip. In the following years, we will improve our designs and attempt to solve other issues the community is facing.
