50 percent of Tanzanian people do not have access to clean safe drinking water. They depend on contaminated water which they collect from dams, water holes and streams. Women and children are often forced to walk up to 20km a day to collect water, resulting in children being unable to attend school and in mothers spending long periods of time away from their children. Water borne diseases such as diarrhoea, intestinal worms and eye and skin diseases are an everyday reality, with diarrhoea being the leading cause of childhood death in Tanzania.
