Serya Village

Projected Completed Date

04/20/2025

On April 20, 2023, Serya Village in remote Kondoa, Tanzania, celebrated the installation of a solar-powered water system, implemented by Innovation: Africa with generous support from Water 4 Mercy, Roger & Sharon Eschenroeder, and Tom Snitzer. For years, the village’s 3,600 residents depended on a contaminated water source 3 kilometers away, requiring women and girls to spend hours each day walking for water. Since the installation, daily life has dramatically improved—children are back in school, women are cultivating home gardens, and families enjoy better hygiene and health. Clean water has brought renewed hope, dignity, and opportunity, and Serya Village is now thriving on a foundation of lasting transformation.
