World Vision PartnersHere’s what Aqua Filter Products can achieve through your ongoing support
- The NZ Government will match fund $4 for every $1 Aqua Filter Products raises.
- For example: NZD $20,000 Famine funds becomes $100,000.
- The NZ$100,000 (Govt. and Aqua Filter) over 5 years will support the funding of two gravity fed water systems and 32 latrines each year. (enough for two villages). This will serve between 250 and 500 people each year.
- Full training is also given to each community.
Through our continued support, World Vision have have successfully completed the weather Coast Helath improvement Programme. We are now proud to contribute to towards the Rehabilitation of the Magugu Water Development Project.

Project background:
The Magugu Area Development Programme (ADP) is located in flat, semi-arid lowland and in the zone with the lowest production potential unless irrigated. The region has a bimodal rainfall pattern (short rains from October – December and long rains from March – May) ranging from 500mm to 750mm per annum. To address water shortages, World Vision started the Rehabilitation of Magugu Water Supply project in November 2010 in the World Vision New Zealand-funded Magugu (ADP), Tanzania. The project is implemented in partnership with the Babati District Council that contributes technical expertise and 15 per cent of the required funding. Community members also contribute their labour and locally sourced building materials for the building of wells. The project is expected to be completed at the end of September 2012.
What are the main problems?
The villages within the Magugu area have a poor piped water-supply system, and mostly depend on seasonal traditional wells for domestic and livestock use
Wells are unprotected and the risk of water-borne diseases, such as diarrhoea, is significant, especially to children
There is a lack of adequate water supply to public places, such as dispensaries and schools
A 2008 survey by World Vision showed that more than two-thirds of people (mostly women and children) walked up to an hour each way in search of water sources
The current Rehabilitation of Magugu Water Supply project is still in progress, but four other completed shallow well projects in the area have shown that improved access to clean and safe water has had a far-reaching impact on the lives of community members.
