How are Tanzanian communities #BuiltByWater?

Hear it directly from Zulfa Jumanne, an 8 year-old student from Fundah School for the Deaf, where Waterboys built a solar-powered deep borehole well that serves the school and surrounding community.

Through HometownH2O, we recently helped provide a new well for a family of three in OK.

Dana takes care of her grandson and her son, who faces ongoing medical challenges from brain surgery. Without regular running water, the family previously needed to haul water from the city.

WE CONQUERED IT!

We summited Mount Kilimanjaro and we're resting for the night.

10 Climbs. One Mission. Waterboys has served over 600,000 people with lasting clean water in East Africa and the United States. We climb Kilimanjaro to help Waterboys reach one million.

We lost reception, but we’re back!

We crossed the stunning Shira Plateau to Moir Camp, taking time to acclimatize before a classic “hike high, sleep low” day past Lava Tower and down to Barranco Camp. Every step is building toward what’s ahead.

The Conquering Kili cohort set off on our 7-day trek up Mount Kilimanjaro yesterday morning and ended up at Shira camp, which sits at an elevation of 11,844 feet (3,400 meters).
