2 New Water Tanks at Malaika




Thanks to Mama Sue and the people of Australia, the rain water tanks have been purchased and placed in position. In the Western world we take water for granted without thinking about it as a precious resource and how lucky we are to have a reliable and clean supply. Many areas in Africa struggle to maintain healthy and stable sources of water .Water in rural areas in Tanzania is often carried by the women on their head for great distances. At Malaika, with so many children and now three babies, our everyday usage of water has increased. Much water is used every day in washing, cleaning, toilets, cooking and for drinking. Thanks to your generous support and donation, these rain water collection tanks totalling 30,000 litres, have taken us another step towards being self-sustainable. As Malaika is in a rural area, the cost of water is expensive.

There are many home owners who install water tanks to store water for their homes. I really want to hide water tank so I want to install water tanks underground.

It melts my heart when I see people helping others who are in need, just like when they made an effort to give clean water to those people. I hope this act would not remain a rare and unique act, but an act that is prevalent everywhere, anytime.
