Improving Community Water Supply: a Case of Tambukareli Sub Community - Geita Tanzania Boniface Mbunju

With population of more than 1500 people, communities in Tambukareli sub community in Geita Region, were facing inadequate access to water supply in their community. In order to solve that problem, communities decided to organize themselves to use the available water source to supply water within the community with a support from other stakeholders. The major activity planned under this project was to construct water supply scheme in order to increase accessibility of water supply throughout the year, closer to the user homes. With support from the author of this work, Tambukareli Water User Group (TWUG) management, managed to prepare a project proposal for fund raising. The proposal was submitted to Plan International (Tanzania), a development NGO located in Geita District. The proposal was successfully accepted by Plan International and managed to disburse funds amounting to Tanzanian Shillings. 78,518,300/= for the purpose of completing the intended project activities.
