This clever water-toting device is literally changing
lives overnight for the people of poor countries like
Tanzania, where hours every day are spent finding and
fetching water. School children especially must rise
early in the morning to carry the water in large buckets
on their heads before they can ever head off to school.

Our Efforts Focus on the Following Areas
In 2002, 1.1 billion people lacked access
to improved water sources, which represented
17% of the global population
In sub-Saharan Africa sanitation coverage
is a mere 36%.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 42% of the population
is still without improved water
Many poor people, children and women in
particular, die without ever accessing a health
facility
Eight out of ten children, who get infections,
die at home and six of them without any contact
with formal health services
Almost 90% of all child deaths are due to
preventable causes - malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea,
malnutrition and complications of low birth
weight
Approximately 28.6% of Tanzanians cannot
read and write in any language
