In January, Afyaplus, in collaboration with Mangalali village local leaders and the Head of the Department of Environmental Health Science at Ruaha Catholic University, conducted a mapping activity to identify key water points and coordinates of the existing Danida water stations in Mangalali Village.
These stations are part of the Tanangozi water scheme, a system built 60 years ago to serve nine villages, with Mangalali being the last in line to receive water. Due to population growth and increasing water demands, the scheme struggles to provide a reliable supply. As a result, Mangalali often receives water only once a week for just 2–3 hours, creating great challenges for residents.
Water is life, yet this aging system struggles to meet the needs of all communities. Water availability fluctuates, with higher supply during the rainy season and lower levels during the dry months. To better understand the quality and distribution of water, we also collected samples from various stations, tracing the journey from the water source to the final terminal in Mangalali.
This assessment is a crucial step toward identifying sustainable solutions for improving water access in the village. Afyaplus remains committed to advocating for better WASH services and working with stakeholders to ensure every community has reliable and safe water access.
