Meeting the spiritual and physical needs of the most needy.
WATER PROJECTS
Safe Water Purifier Installations
We are installing safe water purifiers at all schools in the Sonjo region of northern Tanzania. There are 21 schools. The purifier uses electrolysis. It is a safe, affordable, and appropriate solution for the environment.
We were selected to showcase our project in November at “Making Global Goals Local Business - East Africa” Conference organized by United Nations Development Program, Global Compact Network. We are honored to participate in this November, 2019 event to join a larger conversation and community intersecting with academia, entrepreneurs and the private sector for the shared goal of providing water solutions for all of Tanzania.
Our purifier project cost is around $8,000. This covers all the equipment, materials, construction, training, and project management. We have installed the purifier at 10 schools. There are 11 remaining schools to reach our goal for the Sonjo region.
In addition we are growing our capacity to provide more advanced engineering solutions as well as various technologies in the Sonjo region and beyond.
TANZANIA EDUCATION ADVOCATES
University Sponsorships
The goal of the Tanzania Education Advocates (TEA) Project is to invest in future leaders though university sponsorships. Qualifying students have a dream for Tanzania, have academic success, and have proven faithful in the field.
We have helped provide university sponsorship to four students. Two graduated from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK, studying mechanical engineering and biomedical chemistry. Two graduated from universities in China, studying biotechnology and aeronautical engineering.
We are ready to help more young leaders pursue their dreams through education.
CAPACITY BUILDING
Strengthening individuals, communities and the nation.
We see our work as a learning lab for life, leadership, team dynamics, community relations, and nation building. So our work is not just about the work, but it is about building people on the journey.
Our Tanzanian staff includes an Executive Assistant, Operations Manager, Project Manager, Accountant, IT/Administrator, communications assistant, and 5 support staff. This is a dream team. Without them, we cannot sustain and grow the projects.
