TANZANIA-MWANZA REGION-WATER SUPPLY
(230617) -- MWANZA, June 17, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Villagers fetch water from a stream in Sahwa of Mwanza Region, Tanzania, June 11, 2023. Mwanza Region is situated in the northwest of Tanzania, bordering the southern shores of Lake Victoria, the largest freshwater lake in Africa and the second largest in the world. Unfortunately, due to inadequate infrastructure, the residents living along the lake have faced water scarcity issues.
Kelvin Josephat Kituruka, a native of Mwanza, joined the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) as a quality engineer upon completing his studies in Dar es Salaam. In May 2017, the water supply project for satellite cities in Mwanza was launched, prompting Kelvin to return to his hometown to address the water problem.
Since its implementation in November 2019, the water supply project has successfully met the water demands of approximately 150,000 local residents and the water cost has also dropped to one-fifth of the original.
