Summary:The project is to install water bores in 10 to 20 villages with no access to clean drinking water in Tarime District of northern Tanzania. The women and children, especially the girls walk lengthy distances each day to collect water. This hinders the children's educational opportunities, increases the health burden and severely impacts on economic development.

Four Bores drilled and installed to date.
