Solar-powered water pumps change lives in rural Tanzania

Through solar-powered water pumps, the project has brought tap water to communities in rural Tanzania, saving time, money and health problems resulting from unclean water consumption. The new technology, a remotely controlled smart water point management system, provides an affordable alternative to electricity and diesel powered technologies.

The project was financed by the Nordic Development Fund with co-financing from the Water Mission and the World Bank. The initiative builds on a pilot project in Kenya supported by the Nordic Climate Facility.
