Overview
This program is dedicated to providing clean water to conflict-affected areas, emphasizing water filtration, WASH education, community-focused water systems, and emergency relief efforts. Volunteers play a crucial role in addressing the global water crisis both internationally and domestically.
A $100 extra fee supports the center's facilities and service provision. However, volunteers who purchase a local filter for a community in need are exempt from this fee.
The program includes filter distribution to communities suffering from water contamination, Water4Schools (W4S) initiatives integrating WASH principles into school curricula, and the development of community water systems. These systems save time and improve community health and prosperity.
Challenges may include culture shock, working with inexperienced Maasai communities, and managing expectations.
Positives include gaining experience, helping those in need, and experiencing the beauty of Arusha while exploring local leisure spots on weekends.
