LFT #MakingASplash Kenya 🇰🇪 and Tanzania 🇹🇿

This month three momentous water desalination projects come to fruition to address fundamentally disabling critical water shortages.

Each of these has a bespoke solution entirely off grid that benefits the communities with a carbon free solution to desalinate water. This gives clean portable water to the residents whilst saving approximately 2,000 tonnes of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere annually.

1- Chakama, Kilifi district of Kenya – in the midst of the most recent droughts the LFT addressed the core issue causing water shortages in the areas most hit by them.

The highly saline water that was present wasn’t fit for drinking or irrigation.

Now approximately 20,000 litres will be available daily for the residents of 19 villages in the areas surrounding Chakama.

2- Mnazi Mmoja hospital, Stone a town Zanzibar is Unguja island’s main hospital and is suffering critical water shortages.

A high volume solution was installed giving a potential 120,000 litres a day for this 650 bed hospital and major medical centre. This will benefit many local residents and inpatients with water that’s free of disease and impurities.

3- al Hujjah centre Chengoni in Kenya will have a water desalination solution benefitting the 3,000 local residents so the long walks for water and the need to drink impure water are now a thing of the past.

The mosque, school and homes will now have drinkable water readily available in good volumes.

None of this would be possible without your relentless support for the water projects of the LFT. From hand pumps in villages to farm irrigation, from water for hospitals and clinics to schools and community centres. Fresh water is a right – let’s make sure no one is left behind.
