I am delighted to share that thanks to your generosity, the 4,323 community members in Huzi Village, Tanzania are thriving and their health and well being has been transformed!
Our local team of field officers had the pleasure of visiting Huzi Village and are delighted to confirm that the water systems are operating successfully, providing clean water to thousands of inhabitants. These community members no longer carry the burden of walking dangerous paths in search of open sources and crucially, are no longer suffering from water-related illnesses.
Marium Eliya, 39 year old mother of 5 children expresses her gratitude below:
"I depend on agriculture both for income and for feeding my family. A few years ago, before we had access to clean water, we faced severe challenges. We had to walk long distances to fetch water, which was often unclean, causing frequent illnesses like typhoid, diarrhea, and amoeba infections. Hygiene was difficult to maintain without enough water, and it was hard on the community. Our children often arrived late to school and had to fetch water when they returned, leaving them little time to rest and study, which affected their academic performance. Since the taps were turned on, we now enjoy clean, safe water right near our homes. We no longer suffer from frequent illnesses, and we can encourage the children to study more now that water is readily available. For us women, this is a huge relief—we no longer need to walk long distances to get water. The biggest change for me is having a farm close to the tap, where I grow vegetables like tomatoes. This project has truly transformed my life and my family’s well-being, as the income from my farm helps me cover our needs, from school expenses to daily essentials. I am incredibly grateful for this water project. Thank you so much, we appreciate you deeply."
I have included below some photos from this project which I hope will bring you immense pride and joy and we look forward to sharing further updates with you again soon!
Warm regards,
Matilda and the Tanzania Team
