Project Background

The alliance between SHIPO and ZH2O (SKAT foundation back donor) started by the years 2012 and 2013, by this time the first training was conducted. Such training was conducted by Mr. Walter Mgina, Mr. Henk Holtslag, Mr. James Malekano and Mr. Laban Kaduma. Drillers and rope pump producers from Uwemba, Utalingolo, Makambako and Iringa benefited from this training

The training is aimed to improve and update the knowledge and skills of local technicians in manual drilling techniques and in manual pump production and installation. The overarching goal is to capacitate local entrepreneurs working in the water self-supply sector to provide better services to the population (their clients) and also to increase the number of available competent drillers and rope pump producers as part of a strategy to consolidate the water self-supply market in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania. It is also the objective of the training to introduce quality assurance topics to the suppliers by introducing topics of certification and warranty, as well as introduce trainees to marketing and business concepts.

The Project Goal is to: Increase options and ensure a strong base and environment for commercial replication of low cost WASH technologies in Tanzania.
