WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Under the Clean Water for Ituha Project, launched in 2006, and 2010, UDF greatly increased the accessibility of clean drinking water for hundreds of families.

Funded by the World Mercy Fund, Switzerland, the Euro 1,500 project targeted one end of the Ituha Village in the Mbeya Region of Tanzania. UDF mobilized resources, community support, and government assistance to design the plan and implement the infrastructure necessary to carry out the project. The water, which is currently used by dozens of families, is a necessity for drinking, washing, bathing, and cooking.

Providing water from a source over 10 kilometers from the village, the infrastructure has lessened the hardship of searching for clean water that had formerly burdened the region. In 2010 the pipes needed to be repaired the local villages with their effort collected their own money for replacing pipes and its joints that are broken the collects was Tshs 150,000/=They really feel that the water pipes is theirs.
