About Us

Who We Are

Water for Africa is a Christain non-profit organisation working in rural Tanzania.

Our vision is to give clean water, empower widows and assist those suffering as we share the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our Story

In 2010, Phil Hepworth (Founder of Water for Africa) had a life changing moment which propelled him on a journey when he saw a statistic that ‘one child dies every 15 seconds from water related diseases’. His heart was challenged to do something, so he stepped out in faith…

Learn to practice what is good; Promote Justice. Give the oppressed reason to celebrate. Take up the cause of the orphan. Defend the rights of the widow

Isaiah 1:17
