About Us
It Starts with Water
We’re a people-first organisation serving communities in Tanzania through clean water and long-term relationships.
How It Began
Water for Africa began with one man’s willingness to ask God a simple question:
“What is Your plan for my life?”
For Phil Hepworth, Founder of Water for Africa, that question changed everything.
At the time, one child was dying every 15 seconds from a water-borne disease. It wasn’t just a statistic, it became a calling that led to the beginning of Water for Africa.

The Water For Africa Way
It’s always been about people.
The People Behind Water for Africa
None of this happens because of one person. It happens because people care enough to keep showing up.
Behind the Scenes
Behind every visit, every story and every partnership is a team quietly caring for the people who make this work possible.
Governance
Water for Africa is guided by volunteer Boards in Australia, the United States and Tanzania.
