Read More » The Nyambogo Water Project started in fall 2009, after a request from the local water committee was sent to Village Life Outreach Project, one of EWB’s partners. EWB-UC went on an assessment trip to the region in summer 2010 to collect data and get an overview of the problem. The team determined water safety and water scarcity were both issues that needed to be addressed. There are three seasonal springs near the village, in addition to a pond which provides water year round. EWB-UC is currently researching the possibilities of a rainwater catchment system and/or a borehole, assessing which local resources could be used. Slow-sand filters have been used in Nyambogo for a while now, which have shown some improvements in the health condition of the people, and will be continued to be used until the implementation of the new water system. « Close Cincinnati , OH 4 Share this Team Completed Projects (1) |

Tanzania 
The modern East African country of Tanzania was formed in 1961, bringing together the Island of Zanzibar and the territory of Tanganyika. Eighty percent of Tanzanians work in the agricultural sector, which is the basis of the national economy. A large and diverse country about twice the size of California, Tanzania lays claim to some of Africa's most beautiful and famous scenery. It is home to the Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro, beautiful beaches along the Indian Ocean, and Gombe National Park where Jane Goodall conducted her chimpanzee research. .
