Out of every ten children who die in Tanzania, nine die from diseases related to contaminated water. The high incidence of waterborne diseases, such as diarrhoea, cholera, and typhoid fever, among primary school children also results in absenteeism, poor academic performance, and growing poverty levels.\u200b While practicing as a medical doctor in Mwanza, Felix Manyogote observed how waterborne diseases caused by a lack of sanitation and access to clean water were the greatest barrier to children accessing education.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Felix founded Tanzania Young Eco Protection (TAYEP) to improve water sanitation and hygiene in schools in Tanzania.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Tanzania today, out of every ten children who die, nine die from diseases related to contaminated water. I would like to change that.\u201d \u200b<\/p>\nDr Felix Manyogote<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
TAYEP is a youth-led organisation committed to pioneering solutions in clean water, sanitation, and climate challenges in schools to improve the quality of life in Tanzania. TAYEP\u2019s \u2018Maji Tap\u2019 project designs, manufactures and distributes foot pedal operated hand washing stations. They provide access to filtered water and liquid soap to schools in Mwanza, Tanzania. This is at an affordable cost of 120 USD payable in instalments by the schools. TAYEP also create awareness on proper handwashing techniques through training, workshops and infographics prepared in the native Swahili language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nTAYEP founder Dr. Felix Manyogote (third from right) handing over hand washing stations to Misungwi primary school in Tanzania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This helps prevent the spread of respiratory and diarrheal infections, hence keeping students healthy and in school. TAYEP has been running this project for 2 years and has so far distributed over 120 handwashing stations in 30 schools in Mwanza while impacting over 15,500 children and raising some income to support its operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\nA pupil at Misungwi primary school tests out TAYEP’s foot powered hand washing station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
TAYEP is among nineteen organisations that are currently enrolled on the Youth Ventures Programme (YVP). Through the YVP, QECT provides youth-led organisations with flexible funding, practical tools and technical support, and access to a global network of young leaders for 2+ years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With QECT\u2019s support since March 2022\u200b, TAYEP has been able to: \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design, manufacture, and distribute 120 \u2018Maji Tap\u2019 stations in 30 schools\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Promote awareness on proper handwashing techniques through workshops and information materials in 15 schools\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases in schools by over 40%, positively impacting the lives of 15,000+ school going children \u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strengthen its systems and processes in safeguarding and in finance\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\u201cQECT’s\u00a0\u00a0leadership coaching sessions, access\u00a0to practical tools\u00a0and flexible funding opportunities have enables us to scale our\u00a0work and impact a wider and wider population\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u200b<\/p>\nDr Felix Manyogote<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Future work supported by QECT in 2023:\u00a0<\/strong>TAYEP\u2019s goal is to\u00a0provide schools in new geographies with access to \u2018Maji Tap\u2019\u00a0stations\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
