There is a beautiful source of water on a mountain near the village. The water system is connected to this. With the help of gravity, the water flows via 1250 meters of pipeline and two tanks to the village. There are two taps in the small village. A little further away from the school is a third tap.

The Nchemba I project was a textbook example of local initiative. The residents were active, enthusiastic, and willing to provide sand, manpower, and money to bring the project to a successful conclusion. The management of the water system is now also in the hands of the village itself.

At the beginning of 2013, therefore, there was a training of the local maintenance technicians. They are responsible for the management and repairs to the system. There was also training for the members of the water committee. This training focused primarily on the financial management of the water system. We will regularly follow up these training courses in the coming years.
