Effective and Sustainable Clean Water Access in Sub-Saharan Africa
This project involves the installation of smart water taps accessible to the public in rural villages across Tanzania, The Gambia, and Kenya. The initiative ensures that, for each smart water tap, up to 50 families have immediate access to clean water around the clock, perpetually. The project boasts a remarkable 90% reduction in water waste, saving an impressive 950 liters of water each day. In addition, by obviating the need to burn wood and charcoal for boiling water from contaminated sources, this initiative annually saves an average of 100 tonnes of CO2 emissions per smart water tap, making a tangible impact on environmental conservation. Finally, this initiative has a transformative effect on the lives of girls within the community by reducing the time spent on water collection from 3-6 hours to just 10 minutes, facilitating a positive domino effect on education and health.
