LALJI FOUNDATION launched a transformative community development project to provide safe and sustainable water access in Morogoro. The project, carried out from August 1 to August 26, 2025, led to the construction and handover of a shallow well that now serves over 4,700 residents with clean, safe drinking water.
Before this initiative, villagers relied on unsafe and distant water sources. This contributed to frequent waterborne diseases and placed a heavy burden on women and children responsible for fetching water.
The well was officially handed over on August 26, 2025, in Dakawa, Morogoro, marking a major step toward improving health, dignity, and economic opportunities for the community.
Objectives of the Shallow Well Project:
- To provide clean and safe water to the community.
- To reduce the distance and time spent collecting water, especially for women and children.
- To minimize cases of waterborne diseases.
- To establish a community-led water management structure for long-term sustainability.
This Shallow Well Project in Kwamuhuzi Village has brought lasting hope and health to the community. With proper maintenance and stakeholder commitment, it will remain a sustainable solution to the village’s water needs, as the Lalji Foundation continues to expand similar projects across Tanzania.
