Tara Riverboat Current Project

With close to 800,000 people living on or around the lake and other villages without clean drinkable potable water, we are addressing this issue by the purchase and supply of filtration systems.the tara gives these out free to the local families for private home as well as public dispensation....to fund this project tara riverboat gives out 10% of all profits from all tours for this critical cause..our aim is to ensure that all families have access to free drinking water without the need of boiling the water, as this practice destroys the forrest through the cutting down for firewood and has huge environmental effects. The ceramic filtration systems are proven to remove all germs and bacterial from surface water. Of course suppling the filtration systems is only part of our committment. In the past many organisations and individuals have given equipment only to find that they are A..,not beling used properly..B..sold or C..not being used at all.

As we are a local hands on company we are well placed to ensure this does not happen education is a critical process in the  effective use of these systems-while the technology is simple ,adherence and committment to best practice manufacture, training and education, follow-up and demostration together with support and highlighting the environmental issues is essential to ensuring our filtration systems are optimized to ensure high quality, safe, substainable drinking water, that is required for good health

The 7 key factors and  features that tara implements are as follows:

  1. Identifing the real need for such systems
  2. Suppling the filtration systems
  3. Set-up of such systems for substainable long term use
  4. Education, training in the use and benefits of the systems together with positive environmental impact education
  5. Testing the systems onsite to ensure prue drinking water is established
  6. Community involvment and education o0f the importance of clean water,how the filter works and general care and maintainance of the system
  7. Follow-up of the filtration system and ongoing advise and education together with regular testing of such system.

Filtration systems

We beleive by suppling and implementing these water filtration systems we will have a positive effect on health and safety,the ecomony, environmental management and substainable development, everyone that comes on our tours will also assist in all the above together with substainable and beneficial tourism for the local community.
