Enable 500 Tanzanian youth to feed their families

Many schools in our district face huge challenges with water, with students spending many hours every day carrying water from streams and ponds to use for drinking, cooking, and cleaning.  This causes many difficulties for them. They waste a lot of time that they could have spent studying, and the water is often shared with animals so dirty which causes many diseases.  

So we are so pleased to report that thanks to your generous donations we have managed to drill and install another 7 boreholes and rope pumps in the last 4 months.  So now students like Frazia from Yanza school, no longer have to walk long distances each day. You can see a video of her explaining some of those challenges here. 

And students from Kasangezi show where they used to collect their water from here. 

Now both schools have clean water on site and students can spend their time more productively. Grace, 15, says, "we are so pleased to have this well in our school. Previously we spent 2 hours every day collecting water and many people got ill from the dirty water.  Now we can study better and fewer fellow students are falling ill.  We thank God and everyone who has helped us.

Also several of the schools have been able to start school gardens now they have water available. This means they can grow nutricious vegetables like spinach to improve students' diet and health.

We still have over 20 more schools on our waiting list needing water, that we hope to supply when funds are available.

Thank you again for your generosity.
