We are honored to say that the members will be traveling to Tanzania in exactly one week! We will be leaving to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on March 20th and will be staying for about two and a half weeks. There, we plan to research the selected village and work with the community, The TAEEs, Al-Muntazir School and WAMA Foundation to promote awareness of the concerning issue regarding waste management and to, together, devise an appropriate and sustainable waste management solution.
However, we have yet to raise the sufficient amount of funds necessary for the first component of the project strategic plan: the research and assessment of the waste situation of the selected village. This will be achieved through data collection, analysis, reporting and reviewing, and will allow us to have a better understanding of what we’re dealing with in. Furthermore, the research will enable us to gain hard data on the situation, and thus to determine the most appropriate waste management solution for the particular Tanzanian village. Also, with this information and research, we will be better prepared to help the community understand what they are facing.
Researching the village is one of the most essential components for the project, and we are working very hard to try to raise the necessary funds. However, we can't do this alone, and we need your help. Any donation to the project would bring us a substantial step closer to reaching our goal and achieving our immense but possible endeavor. Support and donations are essential in ensuring the triumph and growth of our endeavor, and will help us immensely in obtaining the necessary funds for the project.
If you would like to make a donation, click on the link 'Donate' on the left hand side. Any contributions to the project will be highly valued by not only the project personnel, but by the Tanzanian community and government.

If you are reading this, welcome. If you are new to the Tanzania Sanitation Project and/or our mission - it's a great place to start. The Tanzania Sanitation Project is a non-profit mission aiming for a healthier, stronger, greener future for Tanzania. The project was established roughly 2 years ago and is currently operated by several 11th grade students and faculty of the United Nations International School.
Proper waste management is a necessity for today's civilization in order to maintain a healthy, sanitary life, yet countless third-world countries are deprived of this need. The improper management of wastes triggers severe environmental and health problems, with the consequences of poor waste management on human health and the environment becoming more noticeable each day. Our project aims to implement a waste management system in Tanzania, one country where improper waste management uncontrollably affects and burdens the population's daily lives.
Additional information can be found on our About page here.
We've recently implemented a discussion forum where you can give us your input one various aspects of the project as well as discuss our current plans of action. Becoming a member is extremely simple and completely free, click here and follow the very few registration steps.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
