Upgrade 126 Nanofilter Kiosks into Centers

It was so exciting to visit our beneficiaries in Gongali Village, Tanzania. The village is closer to Tourists Attractions (Ngorongoro Crater) and accessible to the tourists heading to the vast Serengeti National Park.

We are so grateful to the Korean sponsors for this project of distributing filters to the under-served communities in Gongali Village. The filters were generously donated by several companies in Korea: Scientists and Engineers Without Borders (SEWB), PHILOS/Wellspring, Nitto, and iTEC. The implementation at the local level was done by Gongali Model Co.Ltd and TAHUDE Foundation.

As you can witness in this video (https://youtu.be/RS0wJ2DTiQE) all beneficiaries were so happy and gave their testimonies cheerfully and with great satisfaction.

Those Korean sponsors also donated filters to Zaburi village in Makuyuni (a Masai Village) and in Babati, Manyara region. We are so grateful to all those sponsors and promise to maintain the filter by regularly servicing them to attain the intended benefit to the targeted communities.

THANKS again and again for supporting our Nanofilter project since 2013. Through your generous support we have already reached about 400,000 beneficiaries (by 2023) and anticipate to scale-up our IMPACT TO MORE PEOPLE’s LIVES - because we have gained a solid experience, with time.

THANKS ONCE MORE

Askwar Hilonga – Director of TAHUDE Foundation

THANKS for your relentless support for our intervention in Arusha where we are making impact to more than 300,000 people and have created employment to more than 100 people, mostly women entrepreneurs. In Arusha we have a well-established office and have network of supporters from number of countries; and the Tanzania government. After an impressive achievement in Arusha region, of which the government reports the reduction of waterborne diseases by 42.9% due to Nanofilter, now we are expanding to Mwanza region. The communities in Mwanza depend on water from Lake Victoria which is contaminated with microorganisms causing Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia. This is a disease caused by parasitic worms. Also in Lake Victoria there are heavy metals like Lead (Pb) due to human activities in the lake (ship transportation, fishing, etc). All those challenges can be solved by Nanofilter water purification system. Thus, we are determined to establish 500 water stations in Mwanza region. Your donation ($1,000) will help build a water station (kiosk) that will serve 100 families. You may even contribute part of this cost (for example 10 donors may contribute $100 each; that’s another kiosk). For more information please kindly contact the inventor of Nanofilter, Prof. HILONGA: hilonga@gmail.com; WhatsApp +255787303091
