one-third of the population living below the poverty line. Concern has been working in
Tanzania for 30 years and in 2010 we:

Designed low-cost interventions that reduce the impact of malaria, acute
respiratory infections and diarrhoeal diseases.
Responded to the floods in Kilosa District, reaching 23,900 people with temporary
water tanks and jerry cans.
How Concerns moneyis spent:
Relief anddevelopment 89.9%

We are very proud of our work but more needs to be done! By taking part in our
Mount Kilimanjaro Challenge, you will be fundraising to support our existing Tanzanian
programmes and your money can go a long way to help.
For example, did you know that just:
10 could help buy 4 chickens to assist afamily or group in rural Tanzania to
begin a small poultry-raising project.
20 can buy 20 packets of vegetable
seeds for poor farmers.
100 can train 40 children on good healthand hygiene practices so that they
can pass on this knowledge to other
schoolchildren and their families at
home.

Rain brings clean water to Kabanga
Primary School
Majalewa Stevin is the head teacher of Kabanga Primary, a school for824 children in Ngara, western Tanzania. Like all schools in this poorand isolated district, Kabanga Primary could not offer water to itspupils. The nearest water source is over one hour away.
We asked the children to bring water from their homes for cleaning and for
drinking explains Mr. Stevin. If the school is dirty we cant continue with classes.
But it was not compulsory and many children didnt bring it. They did without.
Digging a well at the school was not possible, because the area is hilly and water
table is low. So in order to get clean water for the children, Concern and itspartners, working with the parents and the teachers, constructed a 50,000 litre
tank to collect rainwater as it falls from the roof. Known as Rainwater Harvesting,
this is a cost-effective way to supply clean water to schools that would otherwise
not have water facilities. The cost is 4,500 for one tank, compared to around
7,000 to drill a well.
The team also built a toilet block, with two smaller 1,500 litre tanks collecting
rainwater from the roof for hand washing.
The childrens attendance has increased and the teachers say their concentration
has improved says Mr. Stevin. Through the presence of water in the school, and
promoting god hygiene, we can see that the sickness levels are decreasing. And
the teachers have more time to prepare lessons as they know the water is here,
and they dont need to go off to fetch it, or worry about the childrens absence.
The benefits are unmistakable.
Zinath Aziz, 14, (left) and
Evestina Geofrey, (12) aremembers of the Child to
Child (C2C) group in
Kabanga Primary School,
whose role it is to promote
good hygiene practices
amongst the children, and
communities. Zinath is the
C2C group chairperson.
