Tanzania Rural Revival
In March 2010 the WfK Board of Trustees approved a grant of £6,000 to Tanzania Rural Revival (part of the World Development Movement Trust, a UK charity) towards the cost of drilling a borehole at Mkwamba Secondary School. It is a new school in a very remote area and some of the children are going to be boarders. At present students and staff have to walk at least one kilometre to fetch water for their daily needs.
Yombo School
In May 2002 a study tour went to Tanzania and met with teachers at Yombo School in Kiwalani close to Dar es Salaam, that was the beginning of a project to provide the 6,000 pupils at the school with safe water for the first time. This work was carried out over some months by Water for Kids volunteer Rob Couch who worked with a school 'water committee' to ensure the supply would be sustainable. Rob also lectured on the new Environmental Health degree course at Mhimbili University in Dar es Salaam.
Kijimo
Water for Kids committee member Caryn Hall worked with Kijimo, a women's cheese making co-operative in Arusha in 2002. She provided guidance, hygiene equipment and over clothing and met with Arumeru District Council where she discussed the technical advice available to groups such as Kijimo.
