Unique solar and gravity-powered water treatment system enables Maasai community to thrive

A collaborative effort between DuPont, NGO Help for the Maasai, and the local Tanzanian government resulted in the installation of a unique solar and gravity-powered water treatment system in Malambo, providing water that is on-demand, chemical-free, and reliable. This project, utilizing DuPont™ Inge™ ultrafiltration modules, has transformed contaminated river water into safe drinking water for over 7,800 people by leveraging solar-powered pumps and gravity. Discover how this initiative is making a lasting impact on the Maasai community and paving the way for similar solutions worldwide.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

"With this plant we meet another milestone. It is the biggest off-grid drinking water plant we have built in a remote area of Tanzania and will connect so many people to safe drinking water who don’t have it today."
