In Lweza, many of the water sources used by residents are contaminated with bacteria that can be dangerous. Village Health Project has collaborated with student organization Engineers Without Borders (EWB) to form a partnership in attempts to bring clean water to Lweza.

     These moden tanks involves using a borehole that is drilled deep into the earth where ground water lies. A pump will be inserted into the borehole in order to retrieve the water. The water is then going to be piped from the borehole down to a 60,000 liter concrete storage tank. The tank will have a tap on it that the people of Lweza can access to get the clean, uncontaminated water.

     In addition to installing water systems, VHP works to educate locals on the importance of storing water in clean containers, how chlorine effects water, and the importance of sanitation. VHP also teaches residents how to use and care for the pump in order to ensure that the pump is effectively collecting water. Currently, VHP has has grant money and is working towards the installation of six additonal water tanks as well as improving the current tanks.
