Maji ya Chai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maji ya Chai is an administrative ward in the Arumeru district of the Arusha Region of Tanzania. According to the 2002 census, the ward has a total population of 19,228. ^[1]

The name in Swahili literally means 'tea water' as the river that flows through the village is the red brown clear color like tea water. This comes from the geological conditions of Mt. Meru which the village is situated on its foothills.
