Mailisita Vocational Training Centre is experiencing water shortage as well as high water bill. By drilling a water borehole it is expected that the center will use the water they will drill to irrigate small gardens around the centre to increase its income (since the borehole is a more reliable source of water for the centre).Solar power will be used to pump the water. The centre will further contribute to youths self employment through trainings they acquire at the centre, thus contribute to reduction in illegal activities on Mount Kilimanjaro natural forest. The project objectives include to use solar as a source of energy for pumping water, to minimize the costs of the water and to have reliable water source and to create source of income for the centre from garden activities.
