Beyond infrastructure, the project emphasizes long-term sustainability by piping water to 1,500 homesteads, 3 schools, and 1 dispensary. 

These connections will ensure ongoing access to safe water and create opportunities for the community to sell bottled water, ultimately impacting 27,500 people. Additionally, the project invests in community education on water hygiene and capacity-building for local water management, empowering residents to maintain and safeguard their water supply for generations to come.

To provide sustainable access to safe, fluoride-free drinking water for households in Kampi ya Samaki through the installation of an appropriate treatment system and establishment of a locally managed service delivery model.
