The Need

The drought in Eastern Africa has been devastating.

As we've gotten to know real people in Hedaru during our trips to Tanzania, it has become more and more heart-wrenching to see the tremendous need everywhere. As a result, we have chosen to work together with the whole village of Hedaru and find ways to address some of those needs.

Tanzania is currently one of the poorest country in the world, and lack of potable water is its most pressing need. For that reason, we have chosen, and will continue to choose the improvement of the water situation as our #1 priority. It affects every person in Hedaru, in every aspect of life, every day.

As the water situation improves, we will be able to start looking with the people of Hedaru at ways to use that water to increase their food supply, the second most pressing issue.
