Description

The project will support the provision of safe water using solar powered technology to hundreds of households within the regions of Dodoma and Kigoma in The United Republic of Tanzania. By providing safe water, the project will ensure that households consume less fuelwood during the process of water purification and as a result there shall be a reduction of GHG emissions from the avoidance of fuel combustion process. In these regions, local people typically use wood fuel on inefficient three stone fires to purify their drinking water. This process results in the release of greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of wood which can be avoided if a technology that does not require fuel (wood or fossil) supplies clean water desired by households.
