HELP US REACH OUR TARGET THIS CHRISTMAS
For one week only, the Big Give Christmas Challenge offers an incredible opportunity to transform lives in rural Tanzania by supporting clean water projects.
From Tuesday 3 December to Tuesday 10 December, every donation you make will be match-funded—meaning every £1 becomes £2 for communities facing severe water scarcity!
Our goal is to raise £6,250. With match funding, that becomes £12,500, enough to bring safe, accessible water to thousands of people.

WHY WATER?
Water is life, but for many people in rural Tanzania, access to clean and safe water remains out of reach.
Women and children often walk miles every day to fetch water, impacting health, education, and livelihoods.
With your help, we can make a difference:
- Life-changing impact at a low cost: Most of our water schemes cost less than £1 per each long-term beneficiary, making them an incredibly efficient way to improve lives for years to come.
- Proven reliability and local expertise: We work with experienced, trusted local partners like Benedicto’s team, which has successfully built over 150 shallow-draft boreholes. Their knowledge ensures that every project is delivered efficiently and effectively.
- Health and hygiene benefits: Clean water drastically reduces instances of gastrointestinal illnesses and other waterborne diseases, leading to healthier, stronger communities.
- Empowering local communities: These projects don’t just provide water – they create opportunities. Most of the work is carried out by local people, offering them income and showcasing the power of self-help initiatives to inspire further community development.
REAL STORIES OF CHANGE
- A community well in Kigoma: Last year, we installed a community well in Munzeze Primary School, providing clean water for over 700 students now spend less time fetching water and can focus on school, work, and building a brighter future.
- A rope pump at Nyangwa Primary School means over 400 students no longer have to bring their own water, creating a healthier learning environment.
- Our water project brought clean water
to a rural health clinic at Kagerankanda village, significantly improving sanitation and reducing the spread of waterborne illnesses
“Previously I couldn’t go to school when I experienced menstruation because was difficult to handle the situation with no water at school and I was failing. I am so grateful we now have a pump at school and I can attend full time and succeed.”
