I am the volunteer Executive Director of a nonprofit called “Friends of Shirati” that supports Shirati Hospital, Shirati College of Health Sciences and Shirati Leprosy Compound in Tanzania. Sustainable water has been an issue at for many years and stifled their work every day. Last year I visited Shirati Hospital and during my time there, they without water for 3 weeks. After experiencing this terrible situation, “Friends of Shirati” raised over $100,000 for the installation of a solar water pump, 1.7 miles of new water pipe. The end result is a daily supply of 40,000 gallons of water per day and over the last year they have received 2 million gallons of water. Water is also being sold to the community. A great success with the power of the sun.
