URBIS Foundation and TAREA to Replace Diesel Pump with Solar Pump at the Preiswerk Girls Secondary School

TAREA and its German Partner URBIS Foundation are implementing the project “Enabling Girls of Preiswerk Secondary School in Ifakara Tanzania access clean water sustainably”. The project will be implemented in Ifakara, Morogoro region in Tanzania. The school is using a diesel generator for pumping water for the girls. The use of a diesel pump at the school costs EUR 5002/ year and emits 14,086KgCO2/year. When there are no funds to buy diesel, girls collect water from the river that has deadly crocodiles. The project will install a solar water pumping system to pump water from a borehole of 80m. The installation will consist of a ground-mounted solar array of 2.24kWp and a submersible Grundfos pump. Section of the beneficiaries

The project will result in 240 girls getting a reliable supply of water, 20m3/day, which will increase the level of hygiene and protect girls from infectious diseases like COVID-19; locally produced vegetables; increased planted trees; avoided 14,086KgCO2/year; reduced costs of water pumping; increased safety of girls; increased awareness of the potential of solar water pumping technology to the education sector and public in Ifakara.


New Solar Photovoltaic Crew in Masasi District

Landratsamt Enzkreis of Germany cooperates with Masasi District Council and Masasi Town Council to implement the project “Promotion of education and training through the use of renewable energies, the establishment of an Environmental Education Centre and CO2 compensation measures in Masasi”. The project will consist of solar photovoltaic systems installation, the establishment of the Masasi Environmental Centre and planting trees. The solar photovoltaic systems installation will be done at 8 secondary schools (Marika, Anna Abdallah, Chikolopola, Namombwe, Mkalapa, Chiungutwa, and Makong’onda), Chiungutwa Health Centre, Masasi District Council Hospital-Mbuyuni and Masasi Folks Development College.

One of the sustainability strategies of the solar photovoltaic systems that will be installed in Masasi District is building the human capacity on the installation and maintenance. TAREA has trained 16 persons from the respective institutions and villages. The class completed the training on 12.03.2022. To enable the crew to start working, TAREA has provided the trainees with starter tools.


TAREA and URBIS Foundation Promote Solar Water Pumping

TAREA and the German Partner URBIS Foundation are piloting the use of solar photovoltaic technology to supply water at the secondary school in a sustainable manner.

The solar water pumping system with the capacity of delivering 20m3 per day will be installed at Preiswerk Girls Secondary School in Ifakara. The solar pumping system will replace the diesel-powered water pump.

The action outcomes will be increased availability of water for domestic use and introduced vegetable growing. The expected impacts of the project will be students living a healthy life, reduced financial expenditure on energy, and reduced greenhouse emissions.

FEMALE SOLAR TECHNICIANS IN MASASI ARE READY TO GO

Tanzania Renewable Energy Association (TAREA) in partnership with Hivos of the Netherlands has completed the training of 20 girls in Masasi on solar photovoltaic technology, training phase one was completed on 12.11.2021. Then, girls go into the internship phase in which they will do intensive hands-on practice and entrepreneurship. Each girl has been served with a complete set of an electrical toolbox that enables her to start working as a solar photovoltaic artisan

The training that is implemented by TAREA and Hivos will give the 20 girls the ability to stand on their own economically and contribute to the efforts of reversing climate change.
