Sanitation project at Majani ya Chai School (Dar es Salaam) kicks off

Heat and humidity troubled Dar es Salaam residents over previous weeks so cooler weather, with the beginning of the rainy season, was welcomed. However, at Majani Ya Chai Secondary School, in Dar es Salaam, heavy rain poses a major challenge for the construction of a DEWATS system.

A low maintenance DEWATS system will be constructed which includes biogas production for a school kitchen and the re-use of treated wastewater for irrigating the school garden.
