Program Overview

Reliable Water Across Tanzania

Virridy has partnered with Water Mission to expand reliable access to safe drinking water across rural communities, refugee settlements, and disaster-affected areas in Tanzania using solar-powered pumping and treatment systems.

Water Mission, active in Tanzania since 2013, implements treatment houses for water disinfection and testing, protected storage tanks with piped distribution networks, and satellite-enabled remote monitoring systems. Communities served range from several hundred to over 200,000 people.

Carbon credit revenue is reinvested into system operations, maintenance, water quality testing, and expansion—reducing dependence on short-term donor funding and creating a sustainable model for long-term water service delivery.

Reinforcing Humanitarian Work

"Carbon finance is not replacing humanitarian work—it's reinforcing it." The program trains local teams in operations, maintenance, and financial management in partnership with RUWASA, building capacity for government partners while ensuring communities have reliable, long-term access to safe water.
