Clean Water For Africa
I am raising funds to buy family size clean water filters that prevent waterborne illness like cholera, typhoid, giardia for remote African villages in Tanzania, Africa.
Almost all of the villages in remote and rural areas gather water to drink from surface water, rivers, and natural ponds. These water sources are almost always contaminated with feces, animal droppings and contain common waterborne bacteria and pathogens that create chronic and life-threatening illnesses.
Accessing safe drinking water should not be a luxury, it should be a basic human right. Many of these villages are also semi nomadic, which means that they may not stay in one place too long, so digging and maintaining a well is not a good option.
When resources in one area become depleted, they pack everything up and carry it to a new location. So, WHO approved family size, portable clean water bucket filters that can go in each home, are a good solution to help them stay healthy and productive.
My name is Georgia Evans, and this project came about after going on an African photo safari trip in 2016. I hired some local men and we visited 6 remote villages to distribute water filters and mosquito nets. Was able to see first-hand what the people drank and the fact that many were ill from malaria, especially children. I talked with many chiefs and elders who were desperate to help their people. So, I returned home and developed the non-profit "Village Care Project".
100% of the proceeds (minus any bank fees) will go towards buying, delivering, assembling and educating about their new family size bucket water filters. Each village of 50-150 people will get bucket water filters that can be placed in family huts that make their dirty water safe to drink, based on their needs and village size. Goal is to put one in each home!
MOSQUITO NETS Additionally, some funds will go towards buying and distributing mosquito nets that prevent malaria. Malaria is another common and deadly problem among African villagers. Mosquitoes carry malaria that makes people seriously ill and kills many people.
Death mortality among children is one in five! Parents in some villages will not even give their children a name until they are 5 years old due to malaria. So, the simple act of sleeping under a mosquito net in their hut helps people stay healthy and saves lives. We will be providing each woman in the village a mosquito net for their hut to help prevent malaria.
ROOF TARPS A portion of the funds will also be going towards helping these villages who live in mud thatch homes obtain heavy duty waterproof tarps to help them stay warm, and dry during the monsoon rains. Children and elders really suffer from leaky roofs during annual rains. The tarps also help the mosquito nets we distribute stay clean and dry.
SOLAR LANTERNS Some of the funds will go to buy each hut a solar lantern. Can you even imagine not having lights and electricity in your home at night? That is what these people face each night. They have zero infrastructure. When it is dark, that is it, they must try to light a fire in the dark for any light. The majority of them cannot afford batteries and flashlights and many villages have to deal with predators after dark.
Won't you help us provide these lifesaving tools and quality of life tools to poor, remote villagers in Tanzania, Africa? I have been there 9 times now and have delivered, assembled and given educational instruction on safety and usage to 66 villages, helping thousands of people. However, the need is very great throughout the region and there are many more villages who desperately need clean water, mosquito nets, solar lanterns and roof tarps.
NEXT TRIP I am planning the next trip back to Tanzania this May 10-20, 2026! Hoping to reach 7 more villages with more lifesaving clean water filters, roof tarps mosquito bed nets and solar lanterns. We will also be accepting applications for up to 5 volunteers for this trip.
VOLUNTEERING
To learn more about costs and what is include/excluded and involved for next project in Tanzania, Africa go to www.villagecareproject.com/volunteer. Thanks!
All of these lifesaving efforts cost money. Every dollar helps! I was asked several times by village chiefs on past trips, "How did you know we needed these things? We have never been helped by anybody, including the government." I was pretty overwhelmed by their reaction and how grateful they were for these simple yet lifesaving tools that they can use to help themselves.
This project is completely funded by generous people who want to make a difference in the world. Please give generously! I promise to make every dollar go far in helping these people. We are a registered 501c3 international nonprofit, so all donations are tax deductible.
