SolutionMUS can result in a variety of unanticipated impacts. Greater accessibility and quantity of water allowed 65% of families to build new, brick homes in rural Tanzania. In the foreground stands this family's previous house.
Through training and investment, SolutionMUS supports private enterprises, making water services more sustainable. Above, Mr. Bado and his four person team received training and subsidized drilling equipment. Since then, he has taken on six more employees and purchased a second set of equipment.
Once water access was improved in this village in Bandé commune, the community rallied around its care, investing time in keeping it clean and well maintained. By combining water access with health education, SolutionMUS can have even greater impacts on people's quality of life.
Levina Venance and her husband struggled to get by in rural Morogoro, Tanzania until a combination of improved water access (Less than 2 min. walk) and technical training allowed her to start selling vegetables. Now she has invested her earnings in expanding her gardening operation and livestock.
By supporting livelihoods through technical and business development training as well as investment, SolutionMUS enhances incomes, and in some cases, nutrition. Above, a cooking demonstration for Moringa, a nutritious plant that can be processed into value added products.
