Access to clean drinking water is the most basic human right.

For some women and children living in Tarime, Tanzania, this can mean walking up to 8 kms daily to collect water.

This puts a lot of strain on the children's educational opportunities, increases the health burden and severely impacts on economic development.

The Rotary Clubs of Central Launceston and South Launceston are currently hosting a project with the goal to install up to 20 water bores in Tarime, bringing clean water to up to 50,000 people.

​

The Rotary Club of Devonport North are aiming to raise a $12,500 contribution which is the cost of one borehole.

The overall project aim, by the Rotary Club of Central Launceston is to raise $250,000 to fund 20 boreholes. To date, approx. $180,000 has already been donated.
