In the future, IHSAN looks to sponsor the Mama Tunza Orphanage to relocate from Kibera slum to a new site in rural Kibiko Ngong where there will be space for 400 children to learn, reside, and escape the life of the slum. This project calls for the construction of boreholes, water tanks with piping, sanitation facilities, watering troughs for domestic animals, and a water filter to provide safe drinking water.  IHSAN will partner with Volunteer Internship Community Development Africa (VICDA) to complete this project.  The project will cost 40,000 USD for bore hole drilling, geological surveys and permits, diesel generators, electric water  pumps, and a water storage and distribution tank.

In the future, IHSAN looks to help fund AHEAD Energy's pilot program to distribute 100 PWC in Mozambique. Based on, the PWC design will be perfected and protocols for widespread distribution established. The pilot program will a partnership among AHEAD, the developer of the PWC, a USA-based plastics manufacturer, the Foundation for Community Development of Mozambique, distribution outlets (clinics and schools), and University Eduardo Mondlane in Mozambique. At full production, the price of the PWC will be less than $US 100. Thousands of Potable Water Cranks can be manufactured on demand using standard plastic injection molding techniques. The cost of the pilot program, including all equipment, production costs, and on-site training and monitoring will be $188,000.
