Project Spotlight: The Mkinga Water Wells

A deep dive into one of our most impactful projects.

Completed community well with villagers collecting water

Bringing Water, Bringing Life

In the Mkinga District, access to clean water was a daily struggle. Women and girls would walk up to 10km every day, carrying heavy containers, just to get water that was often unsafe to drink. This not only caused health problems but also kept children out of school.

Zaimo Foundation, with the support of our partners, constructed 7 new water wells across the district. These wells now provide clean, safe, and accessible water to thousands of people. The impact has been immediate:

  • Reduced rates of waterborne diseases.
  • Increased school attendance, especially for girls.
  • More time for women to engage in economic activities.
