Project Summary

Access to clean and safe water is not a privilege—it's a fundamental human right. Yet in rural Zanzibar, thousands of families, schools, and health clinics still lack access to reliable and clean water sources. “Clean Water, Bright Futures” is a community-driven initiative designed to deliver safe, sustainable water access to rural communities in Zanzibar through the installation of solar-powered boreholes, rainwater harvesting systems, and hygiene education programs.

By combining innovation, local engagement, and environmental sustainability, this project aims to dramatically improve health outcomes, increase school attendance—particularly for girls—and empower communities, one drop at a time.

Project Objectives

• Access: Provide clean, safe drinking water to at least 15 rural villages in Unguja and Pemba islands.
• Health: Reduce waterborne diseases by 60% within two years through clean water access and hygiene education.
• Education: Increase school attendance by 20%, especially among girls, by reducing time spent collecting water.
• Sustainability: Implement solar-powered water systems that are environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
• Capacity Building: Train local water committees and youth groups in system maintenance and water management.
