~Pd. Joachim Lipanga. Paroko wa parokia ya Mpapa

Watu waliteseka sana, walikuwa na vifungo vikali vya kukosa maji safi na salama. Hata kituo cha afya kilikuwa hakitoi huduma kwa ufanisi kwa sababu maji yalikuwa ya kufata mtoni. Lakini sasa tumepata ufumbuzi na tiba kubwa kwa mradi huu wa maji ambao umefadhiliwa na WEFTA na kutekelezwa na SAWA kwa ufanisi mkubwa sana.

WEFTA Donor Partner

We are proud to partner with the SAWA team and the community members who continue to amaze us with their hard work and commitment to the success of the projects. None of this is possible without these collaborative efforts and the support from our generous donors.

Fr. Joachim I. Lipanga. Parish priest of Mpapa parish

People suffered a lot, they had severe bondage of lack of clean and safe water. Even the health center was not providing services efficiently because the water was fetched from the river. But now we have found a solution and a great cure for this water project which is funded by WEFTA and implemented by SAWA very efficiently.

We are proud to work with such talented and dedicated partners, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration for years to come.
