Tanzania Clean Water Project
Recently, The Sky is Not Limited teamed up with African Reflections Foundations (Tanzania) to undertake the first solar powered well pump in the region. This partnership was formed to help the rural people of Tanzania have better access to clean drinking water. The village where the project was undertaken already had a deep well pump in place which was being powered by a diesel generator. The generator was using dirty and expensive fuel. Often the villagers would not run the generator due to fuel costs, resulting in the same problem for them- lack of clean water.
The Sky is Not Limited, in conjunction with African Reflections Foundation, arranged for this well pump to be replaced with a solar powered one. This new well pump eliminated the necessity for expensive fuel and allowed the villagers to run the pump much more frequently. This project was installed in November 2011. Our organization hopes to continually partner with African Reflections Foundation to actively install more clean water projects throughout the region. Special thanks to Maria Pool!
