How can we be helped?

Dr Machibya says
Hello Every one. I stay in Dar es Salaam and i have been in an erea colled Tegeta for almost 15 years now. The area is very nice but of recently, for three consecutive years, the area has been badly hit by floods. Not sure if this could be one of the climate change effect. The local government has put up several initiative which include putting a closed drainage pipeline of about 1.8m diameter. Even though, the drainage canal will not be able to reach one of the area where more that 300 community the get flooded every season. The reason is that the houses in this area are below the vertex level of the drainage canal under construction.
I being a consulting Engineer, i am looking for fund in which we can try to sort out this problem for the remaining portion of this community. We will probably have to consider a pumping mechanism or try and catch the water further upstream before they reach the lowest point…..
