Clean Water

Every Second Counts: Tanzania’s Water Crisis

Clean water should be a basic human right — yet for millions in Tanzania, it’s still out of reach, and the consequences are devastating:

Every 90 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease.
Half of the world’s hospital beds are filled with people suffering from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation, straining families and health systems.
Women and girls spend hundreds of millions of hours daily collecting water, often walking 2–10 kilometres, 2–3 times a day. This alone takes all their time, keeping them from school, work, and family.
Girls are especially affected, missing school during menstruation or dropping out when sanitation and hygiene are inadequate.
Long journeys for water put women and girls at risk of injury and unsafe situations.
Millions of school days are lost each year due to illness caused by unsafe water, reducing learning and opportunity.

Without safe water close to home, families are trapped in a cycle of illness, lost opportunity, and burden that steals futures before they begin.
Clean water changes everything — health, education, dignity, and hope.

Clean Water, Changed Lives

Every project we deliver is more than water – it’s hope, health, and opportunity. We bring clean water to homes, schools, hospitals, clinics, and prisons, placing wells where communities need them most – and maintaining them for years.

One well provides safe water for approximately 2,500 people.

Real Impact: Mtwango Village, Tanzania

This is one community we’ve helped. Mtwango Village, home to 3,000 people in Tanzania’s Southern Highlands, once struggled with unsafe water: children missed school, women spent hours walking for water, and families faced daily illness.
Since their well was installed:

Children return to school and thrive
Mothers reclaim hours for work and family
The community celebrates health, safety, and dignity

Before the well, my daughters had to walk for hours every day. Now they go to school, and our family is healthier. The water has changed our lives.

One well can transform an entire community. This is just one example of the families, schools, and villages your support helps every day.

Keeping Water Flowing – For Years, Not Months

Clean water doesn’t end when a well is installed. That’s why we’ve built a long-term solution:

Trained and employed local teams maintain wells and restore abandoned ones that have been broken for 2–10 years.
Rapid response fixes problems before they become crises.
Sustainable impact ensures every project delivers safe water for years to come.

By empowering regional technicians, partnering with trusted local drillers, and taking full responsibility for ongoing maintenance, we ensure our investments keep giving year after year.

Our strength is sustainability: local teams, long-term care, water that never runs dry.
