The aim of Mizizi Ya Mafanikio

In Tanzania today there are still among 40% lacking access to water, something that Mizizi Ya Mafanikio aims to help reduce and there is an estimate that children miss 33 million school days/year due to diseases related to non-drinkable water. The ambition of our organisation and this initiative is to work with the communities that are the most exposed to the lack of water and support them in gaining access to clean water.

The lack of access to clean water is affecting the women, children, poor and vulnerable the hardest according to the World Bank.

This is why Mizizi Ya Mafanikio aims to help increase the access to clean water to the ones that needs it the most.

On-going Projects

Clean Water in Oldonyosambu Maasai region in Tanzania

Since 2023, Mizizi Ya Mafanikio is working together with the Maasai community in Oldonyosambu to provide clean water to its population.

Problematics

The community in this region have access to water from nearby Mount Meru, but the water contains high doses of fluoride and water-borne diseases, causing health deficiencies among the population. At Mizizi Ya Mafanikio, we saw first hands the affects of the water such as Skeletal fluorosis, one of the main diseases due to high exposure to fluoride in water.

Solution

Together with the local company Nanofilter, Mizizi Ya Mafanikio has supported in installing a water filter at one of the local schools, cleaning the water and making it safe to drink and cook with. The solution of Nanofilter, filters out the fluoride from the water and the water-borne bacteria. Currently we have installed a filter providing the community with 1000 L of clean water/day. Our aim and ambition is to install more filters to be able to serve the entire community living in Oldonyosambu.
