Give Water To The Thirsty Project

Water

  • Access to safe water is essential for addressing poverty and health problems.
  • Rural areas have limited access to clean water for domestic use, crop production and adequate sanitation.
  • Economical benefits are achievable indirectly through improved health and time saved from the drudgery of carrying water over-long distances.
  • Existing data on the incident of water-borne, water- related and water washed diseases indicate that these are more prevalent where people use contaminated water and have little water for daily use.
  • Such diseases account for over half of the diseases affecting the population and more than 80 percent of Tanzania’s population living in rural areas.
  • By far, our major achievements is in providing water to urban and rural communities.
  • Clean water still eludes many people in this country.
  • It is a common sight for a woman to walk several miles daily to fetch a bucket of water. Some areas have access to water from hand dug holes and contaminated streams and puddles.

As of August 2009 WIPAHS
  • Has dug nearly 275 shallow wells in Dar es Salaam and other regions like Coast and Singida, each well costing approximately US $ 1500 and provides approximately 2500 litres of drinkable water daily for 400 families and last for approximately 10 years.
  • This shallow well project is carried out under the Kerbala Shallow Well Project.
WIPAHS also has a drilling machine, for digging tube wells


  • This project is named the Ashura Shallow Well Project and has dug nearly 200 bore holes, each with a capacity of around 3000 to 15000 litres of water per hour.
  • The tube well costs almost US$ 7000 depending on the survey.

  • Immediate Requirements for water Projects:
