Tanzania currently has one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa, however, in rural areas of the country, a majority of the population lives without access to clean water. One child dies every 15 seconds from water-related diseases. RYTHM Foundation partnered with Water for Africa, a non-governmental organisation that seeks to build and utilize the capacities of the local communities.
Through this partnership, our key objective is to help communities realise their long-term best interests and to help bring self-help, self-reliance and sustainable change to the individuals, families and to the community. WFA identifies the neediest villages and works with the villagers to identify the best spot to drill a well. Then they train local people to participate in the drilling team and assign a community committee member to take responsibility for the new water project once it is handed over. This ensures the sustainability of the project for years to come.
RYTHM Foundation's partnership with WFA supports a 60-acre farm that grows avocadoes and macadamia nuts that are an international cash crop. Locals are trained in sustainable, organic farming methods and the proceeds of the yield from the farm go towards maintenance and repair of the local water wells and hand pumps.
RYTHM Foundation projects are funded through QNET, a direct selling company that has helped people transform their lives through its life-enhancing products and services since 1998.
