Why it Matters to us and why we do it.
Where it all began.
Our water project water story dates back to about 10 years ago when the founder, Mohammed Dewji had his first encounter with the water crisis in Singida region.
“I vividly remember walking down a dirt road when I saw an old man kneeling on the path ahead. He was using a plate to scoop yellow water into a bucket”
-Mohammed Dewji in his 2015 Forbes speech.
This was when his passion for philanthropy was kindled and he set out to make a difference. The goal was to complement the government’s tireless efforts to bringing development to the people but with more urgency; A reason why Mohammed stepped in as a member of parliament and constructed about 45 wells in Singida region
Even so, we still have about 4 million people with no access to clean water, the largest percentage being from the central Tanzania.
This is a continuity…
Wells, like most assets requires periodic rehabilitations and technical check-ups. So, Let’s dive into what the rehabilitation process entails, why it matters to us, and the compelling reasons why we champion it.
Water well rehabilitation is the process of restoring existing water wells to their full functionality. These wells, once life-sustaining sources, have faced issues such as siltation, corrosion, or equipment failure over time. Rehabilitation involves a thorough overhaul to ensure they can once again provide clean and safe water to communities in need.
…And our why
The Mo Dewji Foundation, an extension of Mohammed Dewji’s promise to continue serving the citizens, is unwavering in its commitment to the people of Singida. With an endeavor to rehabilitate 19 out of 45 wells constructed over seven years ago while he was a member of parliament, a process meant to serve as a shining example of dedication to sustainable change.
The ongoing rehabilitation project ensures that these wells, once mere memories of a better time, will be fully operational again. Clean water will flow, and with it, a renewed sense of hope. The project not only promises immediate relief but also long-term sustainability, making a lasting impact on Singida’s communities.
We believe this rehabilitation is more than just a technical process; it’s about reviving lives, communities, and hope. The Mo Dewji Foundation’s ongoing commitment to rehabilitating wells in Singida is a testament to our dedication to a brighter, healthier, and more prosperous future for Singida.
