In November 2024, £2,801.89 was donated via the Tanzania Development Trust to fund a vital project for the Mdughuyu Community Dispensary—a critical healthcare facility that serves over 3,224 residents in Mdughuyu Village, Tanzania.
The Challenge: A Dispensary Without Water
The Mdughuyu Dispensary has long been a lifeline for the community, but its ability to fully operate has been hindered by the absence of a reliable water supply. While a borehole was successfully drilled within the village, its location—over 4 kilometers away from the dispensary—has created a significant barrier to access.
The Solution: Bridging the Gap
This project will address the issue by connecting the borehole to the dispensary through essential infrastructure, including:
- Water Supply Pipes and Components
Installation of pipes, connectors, and elbows to enable the flow of water from the borehole to the dispensary. - 10,000-Liter Water Storage Tank
A large-capacity tank will be installed to store sufficient water for the dispensary's daily needs, ensuring a steady and reliable supply. - 600-Watt Solar Panel for Pumping
To power the water supply system efficiently and sustainably, a 600-watt solar panel will be installed. - Protective Housing for the Water System
Construction of a housing structure to safeguard the water tank and the distribution point, ensuring long-term durability.
Transforming Healthcare Access
By providing clean water, this project will enable the dispensary to offer consistent healthcare services and improve hygiene standards for the community. Reliable water access will also:
- Enhance Patient Care: Ensure better sanitation for medical procedures.
- Support Public Health: Reduce waterborne diseases in the region.
- Empower the Community: Promote a healthier and more resilient village.
