(1) Water harvesting, Kigoma

(2) Improved water source, Kigoma
Enjoying clean water. Previously people had to use water from muddy streams shared with animals. Read more about our water projects here.
(3) Entrepreneurship Programme, Kigoma
The headmaster at Kitahana secondary school says “We extend our heartfelt appreciation to TDT for providing a reliable water source, which has not only relieved us from the burden of water scarcity but also created an environment more conducive to learning and academic excellence. This invaluable support has truly made a significant difference in our school.“
(4) Making charcoal from waste, Kagera
We supported young entrepreneurs to start making charcoal from waste materials rather to protect trees that were previously cut down for this purpose. This project thus benefits the environment as well as generating income for the community.

(5) Young mothers graduate, Tabora
Girls who unwantedly become pregnant face huge challenges and discrimination in Tanzania, often losing any chance of an education. Tumaini Open School addresses this and gives them a second chance to fulfill their dreams.
Here, young mother Joyce and her friends celebrate their graduation.

(6) Community water source, Kagera
Before we funded an improved water source, this was people’s only source, which led to huge health issues.
