Clean and Safe Community Water Projects
The
Need
Access to reliable clean water is a basic human right. Your generosity helps build wells that transform communities, improve health, and foster sustainable development in regions where reliable, clean water is scarce. By providing a water source in a community, women no longer need to walk for miles to obtain water and they are able to use their time to provide a living for their family, improving economic prosperity.
Completed projects
In May, 2026, in partnership with Queen of Heaven Parish in Uniontown, Ohio, a community well was completed at Mola Designated Parish – St Athanasius and Transfiguration. This new well will serve a community of around 2000 people, in addition to the rectory and buildings on the parish grounds. Most importantly, the daycare, which serves about 70 young children will now be able to provide a consistent, reliable source of clean water.
In March, 2026, thanks to generous donors, a well was completed at Karanzi, the Sabuko outstation serving the Maasai territory of the diocese about 55km west of Moshi. There are 12 acres of farmland at this outstation and the water source will provide much needed irrigation for crops and animals to assist the residents of this community, in addition to providing water for the church and nearby residents. The outstation and gardens are pictured here.
Prior to 2026, the following wells were completed:
- St. Pamachius Inclusive Secondary School
- Uchira Community
- Njiapanda Community
- St. James Junior Seminary
- KIA Community
- Sambarai Parish – BVM Queen
- Himo Parish – St. Michael
- New Land Designated Parish – St. Pope Gregory the Great
