At Tanzania Development Trust, we believe our responsibility doesn’t end when a project is built. It means staying with communities to make sure the solutions remain practical and sustainable.

Eighteen months ago, we funded the drilling of a borehole at Munkwae, an extremely arid region. Unfortunately, the local electricity supply has still not been connected. The borehole was there—but the water could not be accessed. For the school and surrounding village, little had changed.

We have therefore funded the installation of a solar-powered pump at Munkwae. This ensures the borehole can be used now, not years from now. Clean water will finally flow to the school and the wider community, supporting sanitation, learning, and daily life in this dry region.

Sometimes sustainability means adapting when circumstances change. For Munkwae, it means that a long-awaited resource is no longer out of reach.
