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

Clean water is a basic human right, yet 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. In rural communities across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Tanzania, and other African nations, families — especially women and children — walk hours daily to collect water from unsafe sources.

Building a water well is one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. A single well serves an entire community for 15-20 years, providing clean water for drinking, cooking, washing, and agriculture.

Well Options

  • £300 — Shallow hand-pump well (serves 100+ people)
  • £1,500 — Deep borehole well (serves 500+ people)
  • £3,000 — Solar-powered well system (serves 1,000+ people)

Every well includes a dedication plaque — you can name it after a loved one, living or deceased.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked: "Which charity is best?" He replied: "Providing water." (Abu Dawud)

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