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

Building a masjid is one of the greatest forms of Sadaqah Jariyah in Islam. Every prayer performed in the masjid, every child who learns Quran there, every community gathering — all of it generates ongoing rewards for you in the Hereafter.

Many communities in rural Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Africa have no proper mosque. Families pray in open fields, under trees, or in makeshift structures. Your contribution helps build a permanent place of worship that serves the community for generations.

Masjid Construction Options

  • £1,500 — Contribute to a community masjid project
  • £5,000 — Build a small village masjid
  • £15,000 — Build a medium masjid with wudu facilities
  • £30,000+ — Build a full-size masjid with minaret and madrasah

Every masjid includes proper wudu (ablution) facilities and is built with community input to ensure it meets local needs.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." (Bukhari and Muslim)

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