Expanding Clean Water Access - New Nanofilter Installations at IAA and a Water Station in Mtowambu

Installing Nanofilter at Arusha Institute (IAA)
Installing Nanofilter at Arusha Institute (IAA)

This quarter marked exciting progress in our mission to expand access to clean and safe drinking water while generating local employment.

We successfully installed Nanofilter units at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA), bringing safe and affordable water directly to students and staff. This installation addresses health concerns linked to untreated water and reduces the cost burden of bottled alternatives. It also sets a model for future partnerships with academic institutions across Tanzania.

At the same time, we continued with the take-off of a new Nanofilter Water Station in Mtowambu, a growing town along the road to Karatu, Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti National Parks. Locals can now refill their bottles for just TZS 3,000 (approx. $1.12)—half the market price.

The station has created jobs for Sharifa, the operator, and others involved in delivery, customer service, and security. With an initial setup cost of USD 5,000, each station serves over 100 people and can generate up to USD 1,200 in monthly revenue. Operators retain USD 1,000 after contributing USD 200 monthly to TAHUDE Foundation, supporting maintenance and operations.

This dual approach—serving institutional users like IAA and empowering local entrepreneurs like Sharifa—demonstrates the scalable impact of the Nanofilter solution.
