About Tanzania

Rural Tanzania faces significant poverty and critically limited access to clean water, with many communities relying on unsafe rivers, ponds, and hand-dug wells that harbour waterborne diseases including cholera, typhoid, and bilharzia. Women and children often walk 3-5 hours daily to collect water, preventing girls from attending school and exposing them to danger. In the Dodoma, Singida, and Tabora regions, water scarcity is particularly acute, with seasonal droughts leaving communities without any safe water source for months. Agricultural communities struggle with erratic rainfall patterns, leading to crop failures and food insecurity. Access to Islamic education is limited in many rural areas, with communities lacking mosques and madrasahs. Our field teams work directly with local communities to build sustainable water wells (both shallow and deep boreholes), distribute food packs during Ramadan, construct mosques in underserved areas, and support Quran education programmes. Every water well project includes community training for long-term maintenance and sustainability.

Delivery Method: Direct implementation through our field teams and local community partnerships. Water wells are built with community involvement for sustainability.

Why This Matters

For just £1 per meal, you can provide a hot, nutritious iftar meal to someone breaking their fast. Many families in crisis zones cannot afford even basic food during Ramadan — your donation ensures they break their fast with a warm, filling meal.

Our iftar meals are prepared by local community kitchens and delivered to families, mosques, and gathering points where people break their fast together. Each meal typically includes rice, meat or chicken, vegetables, bread, dates, and water.

Why Iftar Meals Matter

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person." By providing iftar meals, you earn the same reward as every person who breaks their fast with your food — multiplied across hundreds of meals.

  • £1 = 1 hot iftar meal
  • £30 = iftar for one person for the entire month
  • £150 = iftar for a family of 5 for the entire month

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward." (Tirmidhi)

Before the well, I walked 3 hours daily for water. Now my children can go to school instead.
