IN THE MODERN WORLD TODAY RUNNING TAP WATER IS A REALITY FOR MOST; IT IS PART OF LIFE AND SOMETHING THAT MOST OF US UNFORTUNATELY TAKE FOR GRANTED. IN CHEM CHEM VILLAGE, USA RIVER, RUNNING TAP WATER WAS NOT ONLY NON-EXISTENT UP UNTIL JUNE 2010…IT WASN’T A FACT OF LIFE.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE VILLAGE APPROACHED RIVERGARDENS TO SPONSOR THE PIPELINE MATERIALS. RIVERGARDENS COLLABORATED WITH RIVERTREES AND ANOTHER NEIGHBOUR TO SPONSOR THE MUCH NEEDED SUPPLIES, ON CONDITION THAT RIVERGARDENS SUPERVISED THE IMPLEMENTATION. HAMISI KIDUNGWE, THE DISTRICT WATER ENGINEER, DROVE THE PROJECT OF THE WATER PIPELINE TO SUCCESS.
THE VILLAGE AND COMMUNITY HELPED BY DIGGING TRENCHES AND LAYING THE PIPES OVER 3 KM FROM THE MAIN WATER RESERVOIR. THE ENTIRE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED WITHIN A WEEK. IT WAS A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE TO SEE EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER AND THE EXCITEMENT OF RUNNING TAP WATER BECOMING A REALITY.
HOWEVER, THIS PIPELINE HAS ONLY PROVIDED CHEM CHEM VILLAGE WITH ONE WATER POINT. TO SPREAD THE WATER SUPPLY THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE A WATER TANK IS NEEDED, WHICH IS COSTLY. BUT IF EVERYONE PULLS TOGETHER TO HELP THIS VILLAGE AND DONATES A SMALL CONTRIBUTION IT WILL MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES…(TO DONATE TO THIS PROJECTÂ CONTACT US)
