Safe and reliable water access at 131 schools in Tanzania
Access to clean water and sanitation services in schools makes a huge difference to the health, education and overall well-being of the students. In Tanzania, we collaborate with Mavuno Project and the district authorities to strenghten 80,000 children´s rights to education through access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities at 131 primary schools.
In the district of Karagwe - one of the poorest areas in Tanzania - schools are few, overcrowded and offer limited water, sanitation and hygiene services to their students. When water is not available, 10 children per school walk up to 6 km daily to distant water sources - an unsafe activity that hinders them from attending school. The lack of toilets descreases students´health in general and impacts more particularly girls as they are not comfortable going to school during menstruation.
RAINWATER TANKS FOR SAFE WATER
We have already reached 28 schools thanks to the construction of water tanks collecting rainwater during the rainy seasons and storing it until the dry months. We are ready to move forward with the construction of more and we need your help to strenghten children´s right to education through safe and reliable water!
With 300 SEK you contribute to adding a week of school for a child during one year.
Thank you for your support!
