I hope to be a part of the continued improvement of the sanitation solution in Vingunguti, Dar es Salaam. Having seen the benefits of our simplified sewerage system, it is important that we do not stop advocating for the community members. Working with a team of student volunteers to help solve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all). I hope that our work will inspire future generations of engineers to tackle such problems.
