ZOP Community Water Supply

The goal of this project, which IMPACT UK mainly sponsors,  is the development of community water units in different parts of Unguja and Pemba.  The placement of water units has  been a  high priority  of  ZOP’s since  the  Community  Water  Supply project was officially introduced in early 2008.  The policy for the tanks, which range from 2,000 to 5,000 liters, is to place them into areas with  a  minimum  of  500  people.The  units  are  donated  to individual/community  well  owners  or schools  on  the  condition  that  their  water  supply already serves the community. This way efficiency is enhanced and the distance  that villagers have to  walk  to get  their water  is reduced.
