improving the quality of life and well-being of Tanzanians.
CIDA's support increases access to skilled health
workers, increases the number of babies born in health
facilities, helps prevent malaria and tuberculosis, helps
prevents the spread of HIV/AIDS among youth and reduces
its impact on children and their families. CIDA's support to
the Government of Tanzania's education efforts boosts
literacy rates, improves the quality of teaching, increases
equitable access to secondary and vocational education
and provides young people with skills and training to secure
jobs.

5. Water Aid
• WaterAid's programme work in Tanzania
• WaterAid has worked with partners and communities in Tanzania
since 1983 on practical, sustainable projects and influencing policy
to encourage investment in these services.
•
• What has WaterAid achieved?
• WaterAid is trialling a new type of low-cost pump which will solve
the problem of emptying latrines in densely populated, unplanned
areas.
• WaterAid has worked with six partner organisations to map and
assess water access points in 55 Tanzanian districts.
• WaterAid supported the formation of The Tanzania Water and
Sanitation Civil Society Network in 2008, which influences national
commitments to water and sanitation.

6. Water Aid
• Examples of our work in Tanzania
•
• The need for safe water
•
• In the dry season water can become desperately hard to find. Women even search under the baked earth of a
dried up river bed.

• Mariam Hassan lives in the village of Ndalata in the Kiteto District. She has four children, all girls, aged
nine, seven, four and two. Her family suffers from blood diarrhoea and one of her children has bad eye problems.
•
• Mariam knows that they get diarrhoea because they collect water from any place they can find it. Sometimes they
have to dig into a dried up riverbed to find pools of water and during the dry season they share their water with
cattle and wild animals.
•
• "We have to drink it. We know that it is not OK but there is no choice." she says.
•
• WaterAid's partner organisation Kinnapa is planning to install a deep borehole and pump engine in Ndalata to
benefit the community of 1,000 people.
•
• Handpump maintenance
•
• Vincent and Lazaro are the caretakers of the Afridev handpump in Chessa village.

7. Helping Farmers
• Helping farmers in Tanzania
• Posted by Isla Gilmore | in Concern Blog | 16 February 2011 | 0 comments
• I recently met Bakari Barosha, a 70-year-old farmer in the Kasulu District, West Tanzania. Bakari’s life was changed when he joined the farmer field
school set up by one of Concern’s partner organisations.
• Cash crops
• Bakari has been learning new farming practices that he’s applied to his own small plot. Now the land around his house is green and lush with tall
maize, spinach and fresh green cabbage.
• He says:
• I’ve learnt proper seed spacing, and I can tell the difference already as my crops are bigger. The vegetable garden is new, and we’ve already
benefitted from this. I’ve added sunflower this year; we were given a small amount of seeds at the farmer field school to get us started. If the plants
produce high quality seeds once they’ve been tested, then I will keep them to replant, and if not I will sell to make oil. It’s the first time in my life to
grow a cash crop.
• Hard times
• Before learning these practices, farming was difficult in Kasulu. Bakari had barely enough to feed his family with only a small surplus to sell. Since he
never made enough profit, he couldn’t afford to send any of his eight children to secondary school.
• Staying healthy
• Now things have greatly improved. The Kasulu District receives good levels of rain, so with the right skills vulnerable farmers can cultivate nutritious
food and stay healthy. For elderly people like Bakari, this is Concern’s main aim.
• Bakari can’t remember exactly, but he thinks he has over 20 grandchildren - so the extra money will come in handy!

8. Trade Aid in Tanzania
• Purpose
• The mission of Kwanza Collection (KC Co Ltd) is to make a positive contribution towards the alleviation of poverty
and to help producers meet their basic needs of shelter, education and health care. Their mission statement is:
• To link rural artisans and small scale producer groups in Tanzania who wish to sell their products to the
local, regional and export markets worldwide.
• To help craft producer groups, especially the poor, to improve their livelihoods through the production of crafts
and foods.
• To help to revive and promote traditional culture and skills.
• Finding markets for crafts and processed food, mostly produced by rural-based producers.
• Fulfilling these objectives involves the following activities:
• educating the public about these producers and their products
• promoting self-reliance for craftspeople by providing income-generating opportunities
• organising regular visits by buyers wishing to buy small and medium enterprise (SME) products from Tanzania
• organising regular handcraft sales, fairs and exhibitions
• consolidation of products from various producers in Tanzania for container shipment
• marketing and selling Tanzanian small-scale handicrafts and food products through the development of a
professional and well-maintained showroom
• providing links to export markets by selling through existing alternative trade organisations (ATO) networks and
commercial organisations
• promoting fairer local, regional and international trade through sales and linking the target producers with buyers;
empowering them to participate in the trade will effectively achieve this.

9. Benefits
• KC Co Ltd currently employs four people. Clearly the main benefit
for producers is the independence provided through the financial
income received for their products.
• Women making the baskets (the major export) can earn 30-40,000
shillings or more per month which is a lot of money in village terms.
• In addition, most own their own land. On top of the cost price a 20-
25% markup is made, depending on the product. This is designed to
cover transport to Dar and packing/fees payable to the government
for the use of natural resources.
• On top of this a margin of 15-20% is added; when the price is
negotiable; it is this margin which may be reduced - not payment to
producers.
