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

A Ramadan food pack provides a complete month's supply of essential staples for an entire family. Each pack is carefully assembled to include culturally appropriate foods that sustain a family of 5-7 people throughout the blessed month.

What's Inside a Food Pack

  • Rice (10kg) — the staple carbohydrate
  • Flour (10kg) — for bread and chapatis
  • Cooking oil (5 litres)
  • Lentils and beans (5kg)
  • Sugar (2kg) and tea
  • Dates — for breaking the fast
  • Salt, spices, and tomato paste

Contents are adjusted by region to match local dietary needs. Packs in South Asia include different items than those in East Africa. Every pack is delivered Hand2Hand with photographic proof.

The Ripple Effect

When a family receives a food pack, the mother no longer needs to choose between feeding her children and paying for medicine. Children can focus on their studies rather than going hungry. The entire household can observe Ramadan with dignity.

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.
