Clean Water
- 26,000,000 people in Tanzania do not have access to clean drinking water. That’s the approximately the population of Australia!
- Over 4000 children die every year from diarrhoea from drinking contaminated water in Tanzania
- 70% of households in Tanzania are without clean drinking water
- Women and children especially girls carry the burden to collect water each day in Tanzania, resulting in walking for many kms, often leaving them in vulnerable situations and not allowing them to attend school to receive an education.
Our Solution
- We source the most needy villages throughout the remote areas of Tanzania together with our in-country partners
- We organise a hydrological survey and liaise with the village elders to establish the best location for the positioning of the well for the whole community
- Drilling is organised and once completed the WFA team install the base and hand-pump and ensure the full working order of the well
- The completed project is then handed over to the village committee
- An amazing “thanks-giving” celebration for the provision of the well takes place with the whole community
- The village committee are provided with the direct contact of the in-country partner should any issues arise
In-Country Repair & Maintenance Team
We have established and trained three In-Country Repair & Maintenance Teams to be part of the solution.
These dedicated local teams work tirelessly each week to maintain all our newly installed water projects and to repair water wells that have often been abandoned and broken for as long as 6–10 years. Once repaired, these wells are incorporated into our program to ensure a continuous and reliable supply of safe, clean drinking water for years to come. Our teams operate year-round, promptly addressing any issues that arise to keep the water flowing.
Our vision is to see this region and beyond fully equipped with access to clean drinking water, transforming lives one community at a time.
One of our core missions is to empower individuals and families to recognize and achieve their long-term best interests through self-help, self-reliance, and sustainable development. We strive to bring meaningful, lasting change to communities without discrimination, fostering dignity and hope for generations to come.
We partner with a local driller and focus on training and equipping local people. Our passion is to empower them, raising up strong leaders who take ownership and lead the way in transforming their communities.
