Bringing water to Kanazi Clinic & School
By Benedicto Hosea | Project Leader

Kanazi
Thank to generous donations from people like you we have funded a borehole and rope pump to bring water to the clinic and primary school at Kanazi, benefitting over 19,000 people.
It costs only £1500 to build this, but saves so many people hours of time and discomfort carrying water long distances from the stream.
It seems crazy that in 2023 people are still lacking access to water, especially in clinics and schools, but unfortunately in rural Tanzania it is still very common and we have many more sites desperately needing water, so if you can help us bring water to more such sites it would be very much appreciated.
One example is Changalawe Village in Uvinza where over 3000 people currently carry water from a dirty stream. We have surveyed and identified a suitable location for a borehole, and will complete it as soon as we have the funds.
Thank you again for your generosity.
Benedicto

Gearing up for Giving Tuesday to bring more water
By Benedicto Hosea | Project Leader
![]()
We have requests from many schools currently suffering from no water supply. Schools like Ruhita Secondary. The 205 students currently have to collect water from a muddy pond 1.5km from the school as seen here.
Not only does this waste hours spent carrying heavy water each day, reducing their studying time; it puts them at great risk of water borne diseases. It also affects student attendance and motivation.
Therefore we are raising money so that schools like Ruhita can have access to a rope pump on site.
This giving season please consider supporting us if you can.
With gratitude
Benedicto

Bringing water to Rungwe Mpya thanks to you!
By Janet CHAPMAN | Project Leader

Rungwe Mpya is located 38km in Southern Kasulu with three schools two Primary Schools and one Secondary School. The village heavily depends on the water collected from a stream which is away from the village. From Rungwe Mpya Primary School to the stream, the pupils walked almost 2km. Water collected from the stream was unclean and dirty because the stream water is shared by human and animals. We completed the borehole drilling at the school drilling 31m deep with the rope hand pump that serve the school and the teachers who are nearby the school making the total of 811 beneficiaries.
“We are glad to have the borehole at our school; the pupils don’t walk a long distance for water anymore. They get water for drinking, wash and garden watering within the school. We expect the performance at the school will improve among our students because they have less time wastage for water collection” – Venilanda, a female teacher says.
Telezia is a female pupil studying at Rungwe Mpya Primary School. She is in standard 6 this year and is one among the other beneficiaries who states; “We were the victims of water at our school and home. Now I am happy with water situation, I don’t walk much, I don’t get tired of water and this makes me with my fellow pupils use much time studying and discussing for our subjects. We thank you for your big heart to help us and we beg you to keep helping the projects of this kind to the other schools and community.”
We want to bring water to many more schools like Rungwe Mpya this year and beyond, so thank you for your generous donation.
