Our mission is to assist the poor, rural communities of Tanzania, Africa, with life's basic necessities – starting with water – to become healthier, better educated, and self sustaining.

Our Focus Is Water

THE FIRST TIME WATER CAME TO MTUMBA 2005

We believe the key to sustainable change is a holistic approach to improving the quality of life, which begins with clean water. We partner with village leaders to develop and execute a successful plan to provide water to that village. We then work with a local civil engineer to create the best approach. Village volunteers collaborate to dig miles of trenches from the water source to the pump house and water distribution points located around the village. The process takes roughly 12 months and an average project requires $100K for full funding.

EMPOWERING WOMEN

A WARM WELCOME FROM THE ENTREPRENEURIAL WOMEN OF VIKONJE

TLP sponsors Women's Empowerment seminars. Empowering women starts by educating them on their legal and moral rights along with encouraging them to achieve their greatest individual potential. Successful women within a village can influence the culture in positive ways.

EMPOWERING MEN

MEN OF NGUTOTO DISCUSS THEIR NEW SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY

TLP sponsors Men’s Empowerment seminars. Empowering men starts with educating them on healthy relationships. It also promotes active participation in evaluating which customs to keep or change in order to help their community thrive and grow.

BUSINESS START-UP GRANTS

A GROUP WHO STARTED A FARM

TLP provides individual grants of $25 to village entrepreneurs who submit viable business plans. The grant helps them meet the minimum requirements to then qualify for micro-financing loans from an organization called SACCOS to fund their new business ventures. These ventures include farming, raising animals, pottery making, small tool crafting, brick making, food vending and other ventures.
