After finalizing the report in Njombe and Dar, the whole group got together at the island of Zanzibar. This is an island just off the coast of Dar Es Salaam. On Zanzibar we travelled to a small town called Matembwe where much of our brainstorming and creative sessions took place over the week.
We started to set up the imaginary “perfect filter”. After that problems were listed and many solutions were thought in a divergent session. While converging again, we selected the most interesting solutions. Right now the phase of conceptualizing the different solutions has started.
While visiting the local clinic we were amazed to see a graph that showed that the amount of cases of diarrhoea had decreased significantly over the last couple of years in that particular town. Because of governmental programs and NGO’s people have started to boil their water and use chlorine which have led to this positive result.
