It is the take off of our water stations project in Arusha region, Tanzania. We are so grateful to GlobalGiving, its partners, and sponsors for initiating this program and now it is attracting the global attention.
We are now receiving requests from many other regions in Tanzania and from other countries to establish the water stations and/or at least sale the filters directly. So, THANK YOU SO MUCH for supporting us at the time when our project is hardly known to anybody.
With your support we have been able to start few pilot projects around Arusha region and we are now seeing a brighter better future as we are attracting more interested partners.
In the attached photos, and on our website www.gongalimodel.com, you will see the training we are regularly conducting to empower the local entrepreneurs who are running the water stations. Up to now, we have 70 water stations; which is equal to 70 employment opportunities to local people in Tanzania (Local Entrepreneurs). The entrepreneurs purify water and then sale to their neighbors. They pay back about 10% back from their daily sales. This helps for maintenance and sustainability of the water stations.
Please kindly expect more updates through our future reports as we continue to open more water stations to reach more and more people with safe and clean water, even in rural Tanzania!
THANKS FOR YOUR RELENTLESS SUPPORT - ALL THE TIME!
