UNICEF Ambassadors Gareth and Jo Morgan are supporting a UNICEF water project that will take clean water to thousands of children and their families in 3 districts of Tanzania. 

They have pledged to match all donations dollar-for-dollar! Double your impact for children by donating now using the form on the right.

With access to clean water children will no longer get sick from waterborne diseases, mothers will not be away for long periods of time in search of water, and girls will be able to go to school instead of staying home to look after their siblings.

Our impact

Gareth and Jo visited the project to see for themselves the work UNICEF is doing.

"The work UNICEF is doing in Tanzania is extraordinarily successful - we know because we've seen it first hand. In villages where UNICEF has built wells and educated communities about basic hygiene we see pride, sustainable agriculture, and healthy, bright-eyed children. We are absolutely convinced about the work UNICEF is doing. It changes the lives of everyone in a village, almost overnight.

A critically important aspect of the UNICEF initiatives in Tanzania is ensuring that local villagers take ownership of the projects and take responsibility for keeping the wells in good working order. Village committees are formed and people are trained in maintaining the wells. Families in the village contribute a small amount of money if they can, to help with the upkeep.

Equally important is training in basic personal hygiene - washing hands before preparing food and after going to the toilet. These measures mean that aid money is not just used for short-term relief, but in providing a genuine, long-term solution to sickness and poverty.

Please support this vital project today. We have pledged to match your donation dollar-for-dollar to get this project completed."
