Shallow Well Sponsored by Ladies of Mwanza Jamaat

Updated 11 November 2008

The lack of clean water is of great concern in the rural areas of Tanzania, and the ladies of the Shia Ithna-Asheri Community of Mwanza Jamaat have sponsored a shallow well for a small rural village outside Mwanza, Tanzania through The Desk and Chair Foundation (TDCF).

This particular well will be the 50th well that the TDCF has built in just 3 years. 50 wells provide clean running water for approximately 10,000 people everyday. TDCF aims to get to reach the 100 mark in the next two years.
