NMF is seeking for some grants from individual, local and international organization to sponsor these children. TENTATIVE BUDGET The secondary education in Tanzania is for four years, the following is the tentative proposed budget for forty (40) orphan and vulnerable children in four years to attend secondary education;
NB: 500 US$ can sponsor one orphan/vulnerable student for four years
2. RAINWATER HARVEST
PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR RAINWATER HARVESTING AT MAKANG’WA PRIMARY SCHOOL, CHAMWINO DISTRICT, DODOMA REGION, TANZANIA
1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Nancy Memorial Foundation (NMF) is a Community Based Organization founded in Makang’wa Village, Chamwino District, Dodoma Region, Tanzania with registration number HWC/CD/CBO/46. NMF was founded by Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Mwano with engagement of committed members of a very poor rural community, to tackle the numerous problems and challenges of life existing in its intervention area (Makang’wa Village). NMF main focus is to reduce poverty in the community through educating orphan and vulnerable children, improving water and sanitation, food security, fight against diseases problems (preventable malaria and HIV spreading) and protection of environment. 1.2 Description. The Nancy Memorial Foundation is seeking funds to provide reliable and safe drinking water to Makang’wa Primary School, Chamwino District in Dodoma Region in Tanzania. The school is facing an acute shortage of water; in solving this problem the foundation has planned a project to collect roof top rain water harvesting. Rural communities all over the world have been collecting rainwater where it falls from time immemorial in their house/fields in open tanks and in traditional open wells. It’s a technology that was accepted and applied on a large scale in the deserts, tribal regions and in the mountains. Dodoma is a desert region; therefore water crisis is a big problem in most of the family, school, health centers and other institutions around the regional especially in rural areas like Makang’wa village. Women and children have been used most of their time in fighting against unsafe and defective water instead of participating against poverty alleviation and attending to school. Collecting rain water in this school will increase the attendance of children in the class; otherwise have to walk more than ½ km from the school to fetch unprotected spring (pond) water. This spring is in a distance of about which tremendously affects the pupils learning as a lot of time is consumed in fetching unsafe water. We are choosing to take on water (roof) harvesting at the school as this is a community based project. This will help the pupils get clean water, save time wasted in fetching and carrying water over a long distance also put the parents’ heart to rest due to the problems faced in this activity. The schools will become more attractive because of the availability of drinking water hence improve the quality of education in the village. The community will be eager to send their children to school for sweet drinking water in non potable areas where water is brackish. With the water comes sanitation, education, poverty alleviation, gender equity objectives, implementation of environmental plans and community development programs can be achieved through rain water harvesting. The plan is to install 1 hand pump, 3 interconnected underground tanks of 20,000 liters each and 1 filtration unit (sand-filter). The purpose of introduce sand-filter unit is to prevent water from staling due to bio-decomposition of organic matter resulting from air suspended solids and to prevent the amount of dust in the water especially at the beginning of rain precipitation season. The amount of rain that can be collected from the roofs of the classrooms will be enough to provide safe drinking water and water for washing hands for all 900 students of the school for whole year three (3) liters each per day. The SamSam Water Foundation from Netherlands and Maji na Maendeleo (Water and Development) Dodoma (MAMADO) have assisted us to make a calculation and instructions for the construction and maintenance of the roof water harvesting system. The next step in providing safe and reliable water for the community will be the protection of the spring source near the village. However, we choose a step by step approach, so this project proposal only deals with the water harvesting at the school. 1.3 Location of the project The school is located at Makang’wa Village, Chamwino District, Dodoma Region in Tanzania. It is situated in a rural area about 40 km from Dodoma town. 1.4 The social and economical characteristics of the beneficiaries 1. The beneficiaries are young pupils mainly aged 5-16 years of age. 2. They are from a poor community hence living miserable life. 3. They also fetch water for domestic use after school. So doing it at school is a double worker. 4. Water fetching utensils at school are inadequate and few hence making it hard. 5. The poor community member will be trained to appreciate the scheme of roof water harvesting water also for domestic use.
2.0 PROBLEM DESCRIPTION AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION 2.1 Problem description The main problem or challenges are:
2.2 Causes of these problems
help to put up a good water scheme
2.3 How has the proposal been established? The proposal has been established through a community participatory approach as it has been to all the other programmes of NMF. All the stake holders had to be consulted to come up with the proposal which could suit the most pressing problem in the community. We have also involved the government extension workers for example the Community Development Officer and the water and sanitation. 2.4 In what way has the local community been involved? The community has been involved right from the initial stages of designing this project. Preparation and making a choice between protecting the spring well and harvesting rain water from the school roof. Protecting the spring source is another essential problem to be solved. However we decided to take a step by step approach a first construct the school roof water harvesting system for the first needs and to prove that both NMF and the community are able to organize this successfully. We involved the chief (Locally known as Local Council Chairman) and his council. We involved the youth leaders in our community and the children. In all these consultations the gender aspect was put in consideration hence views from women were so much respected. It was agreed that the management committee will consist of teachers, parents, community members, school management committee, (who are members of NMF) and representative of the pupils. This committee must report regularly to NMF as this organization has a long time commitment of seeing that the scheme is effectively serving the community.
2.5 Gender aspects In the operation and maintenance of this scheme the gender must be given much thought. It is a policy that in NMF activities or committees instituted to involve not less than one third of women/female members. We don’t only emphasize presence of women but respecting their voice. In the water and sanitation the women must take a lions share in decision making as they are more involved in activities requiring sanitation and water right from the source and its use domestically. So in this respect it was mainly women who made the decision for this scheme to help the pupils manage studies. 2.6 Sanitation The project will help the children to live in a hygienic atmosphere which will make it more conducive for studies. Provide water for washing hand after toilet which has been a problem at the school.
The school as a pit latrine, the water for washing the hands after visiting the latrine is fetched by the pupils from the spring. It is put in a small tank. Washing hands after latrine is something which needs a lot of sensitization in the community, which is one of NMF’s emphasized areas; therefore the school must be exemplary. However the small tank has a problem of being damaged, as it is put on a stand and can fall hence has to be replaced often. Therefore the project will provide a new small tank with an appropriate stand for washing hands near the latrine. 3.0 GOALS, BENEFICIARIES AND ACTIVITIES 3.1 Long term goals of this project
3.2 Extension, repetition or up-scaling of the project. We believe that this scheme must work as an eye opener to the community to continue with water harvesting and water safety. This will help to be a demonstration centre and also try to use the local materials so that it can be affordable to the poor community members. The next step, after the successful functioning of the roof water harvesting scheme should be the protection of the spring source, being the main water source.
3.3 Beneficiaries The direct beneficiaries of the water harvesting project are the pupils in the school this year they are been 900 (535 girls and 365 boys). However the parents who are more than 700 too are beneficiaries when the kids are exempted from fetching water as they no worries of the risk involved hence making the direct beneficiaries to be more than 1000 people. The scheme will mainly serve the children. However this water will help the other community members in holidays and in rainy season when it is in surplus.
3.4 Activities The activities that will lead to the desired outcomes
4.0 COSTS 4.1 The estimated budget for construction of rainwater harvesting system Components of rainwater harvesting system
Detailed cost
The labour will be provided in kind by the community and members of NMF, apart from the supervision of the project and technical training for which a supervisor from Multiple Industries Limited will be hired.
4.2 Which other parties contribute to the project The community will contribute the following to the project:
5.0 STRATEGY 5.1 The strategy and approach to implement the project The strategy and approach to implement the project will be participatory approach. The community members have been consulted in the project planning i.e. selecting and designing the project, they will appraise and implement the project, do the monitoring and also evaluate the project. The success of this scheme will be a great stride in seeing that our community begins an effective utilization of the rain water at home and nearby schools.
5.2 Involvement of the beneficiaries in implementing the project The primary beneficiaries of the project are the pupils at the school and their voices have been considered during the execution of the scheme. They have been represented in all meetings and their views are respected. They will be part of the implementation and management of the scheme.
6.0 SUSTAINABILITY 6.1 Operation and maintenance The responsible organ for operation and maintenance will be the management committee of the scheme whose selection must be gender sensitive. It will consist of 10 members (Not less than four female). The representations on the committee will consist of members from teachers, parents, community members, school management committee, (who are members of NMF) and representative of the pupils. The Managing Director of NMF must get regular report on the scheme to monitor its continuity, so as to serve the community maximally. The facility will be owned by Makang’wa Primary School under the supervision of the school Head teacher, therefore the school must meet the cost of its operation and maintenance to serve the community. The management committee has given us assurance on this. The management committee of the scheme will identify one of the volunteers of NMF to be trained as technician, to help on the technical problems and the cleaning of the facilities. However the committee will make the decision on when to call upon the technician if necessary. 6.2 Consequences of the project on nature and the environment
7.0 ORGANISATION 7.1 Applying organization The applying organisation is Nancy Memorial Foundation (NMF). We believe that the organisation has the capacity to implement the project because of the following reason. It is led by competent people for example Mr. Jonas Mwano the Managing Director has got a 3 year experience working with a NGO and is a geologist and hydrogeologist by professional.
