Water Well Project

Bringing clean, safe water directly to a village in Pemba.

Water Well Project

The Water Well Project in Pemba is bringing clean, safe water to a community that has long struggled with access. In rural Pemba, women and children often walk miles each day to collect water from unreliable sources, leaving little time for school, work, or rest. This well will serve the village directly, reducing waterborne diseases, freeing children to attend school, and giving families back hours of their day.

Since fundraising began, the community has shown incredible enthusiasm, coming together to support the digging and construction process. Co-founder Layla has been overseeing progress in Zanzibar, documenting the journey from initial groundwork to the final structure. The well is more than a water source – it is a symbol of hope, resilience, and the power of community.

Impact: Clean water means healthier children, stronger families, and a community that can thrive. This project is a testament to what we can achieve when communities in Wales and Zanzibar come together.
