Ruvu Remit Village
We are excited that we have successfully implemented our first project in Ruvu Remit Village.
Through community collaboration and dedicated effort, we've brought clean water access to over 500 residents
transforming daily life for families who previously walked hours to fetch water.
The installation of a sustainable water system has eliminated the exhausting daily journeys that women
and children once made, often carrying heavy containers across difficult terrain. Now,
clean water flows just minutes from their homes, freeing up precious time for education,
income-generating activities, and family care. This achievement represents more than infrastructure—it's a foundation for improved health, economic opportunity,
and community dignity.
The impact extends far beyond convenience. Local health workers report a significant decrease in waterborne illnesses,
particularly among children under five who are most vulnerable to contaminated water sources.
School attendance has improved as children no longer miss classes to help fetch water and
women have started small businesses with their newly available time.
The project also created temporary employment for 15 local workers during construction and trained
community members in system maintenance, ensuring long-term sustainability. There is still much to be done
but this is a great start that demonstrates what's possible when communities come together for sustainable change.
This milestone fuels our commitment to reach more villages and proves that our community-centered approach creates lasting transformation.

Multiple Villages
Solar energy, renewable and plentiful, can be collected by solar panels on Maasai home roofs. Maasai houses are dark inside. The situation has hindered and affected people in terms of their protection and safety at night and forces them to light fires at night when light is needed.
School children do not have the light to study at home when they are asked to do homework. Solar powered light will help solve many challenges in rural Maasai villages.
Women are the owners of the house and repair it in many ways traditionally. By installing a chimney stove in women's houses, smoke is reduced and firewood need is cut more than half, saving about 12 hours a week of menial labor. Smoke in homes is a serious cause of illness, especially for children.
We are fortunate that in the Maasai regions in north-central Tanzania there is a project that has been installing safe chimney stoves eliminating almost all smoke, and installing solar powered electric light in Maasai family settlements.
The Project is called Maasai Stoves and Solar and is mounted by the International Collaborative for Science, Education, and the Environment, Tanzania, ICSEE-T. ICSEE-T is dedicated to developing collaborative relationships with organizations in the region and that includes MWBT, bringing stoves and solar systems to a new region of Maasai life.

"MWBT moves forward with intention — this is how real change begins."

Ruvurimit, Simanjiro District
Ruvurimit in Simanjiro District have long endured severe water shortages, with women and children walking more than ten kilometers to fetch unsafe water from a river inhabited by dangerous wildlife, including crocodiles. For years, the community relied on contaminated water sources, putting their health and safety at risk.
