More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The Economist ranks Tanzania the world’s 2nd poorest country in the world, and the city of Mwanza, along the shores of Lake Victoria, is one of the poorest areas of Tanzania. People cannot afford the basics of life such as running water and electricity, nor can they afford to properly feed and educate their children. This project will put in place a permanent solution that will enable hundreds of families to escape their poverty forever.

Activities

Working with manufacturers in Arusha & retail shops in Mwanza, ApproTEC will create a supply chain for technologies such as the manually operated irrigation pump. We will promote the technologies & monitor their impact on farmers who purchase them.
