Sumve is approximately 70 km Southeast of Mwanza, the regional capital. Though very rural, plans exist to bring running water to Sumve's residents in the near future. At present there is a small water pump to supply water throughout the village. A computer training center, called Sumcot, has been set up, to assure IT education and internet use is available to hospital staff and students of the schools. Sumve is accessible via private vehicles (travel time is about one hour to Mwanza), but most visitors and residents take one of the buses to and from Mwanza. Though the place is accessible through railway road but at the present is not in function. The area is supplied with full mobile network dominated by Airtel and Vodacom.
