Transfer of Appropriate Sustainable Technology & Expertise (TASTE)

Unverified non-profit organisation

TASTE was registered as a charity in the U.K. on September 7 1999, to encourage the spread of appropriate and sustainable technology in Nigeria. Originally, the intention was to take the form of sending suitably qualified Christian professionals to work alongside local people or offering support to young Nigerian professionals. However, this quickly moved to developing our own Nigerian drilling team who are responsible for the construction of community boreholes.

Their work is divided into a number of streams:

•Geological surveying of potential water locations.
•Community support in the development of sanitation systems.
•Drilling services for boreholes to supply clean drinking water.
•Water delivery to needy communities.
•Visiting schools in Jos to teach children about the work of TASTE and to help them understand the importance of basic hygiene principles.
•Taking a high profile approach to honest & ethical standards in business.
