Clean water for Kigoma Tanzania

Many villages in rural Tanzania lack access to clean water meaning villagers are forced carry water very long distances, wasting hours every day.  Often they have to drink from muddy ponds shared with animals, leading to multiple health problems, particularly for children.

it is estimated that up to 50% of water pumps in Tanzania are not functioning at any one time mainly due a lack of spares or local expertise.

Good News!  In Kigoma, our local representative, Benedicto Hosea, and his team have successfully hand drilled over 40 boreholes and constructed simple rope pumps that can easily be repaired by the villagers. Only £1,500 is enough here to fund a borehole and pump to make a radical difference to the lives within and around an entire village.

At Rusesa Secondary school there are 486 students and more than 1200 people living nearby who currently need to fetch their water from a stream 2.3 km away.

In last year's Campaign we raised enough to ensure 8 villages had access to clean water.  This year we want to fund at least 10 more villages. Please help us by donating now.
