We are raising funds to buy 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. When resources in one area become depleted, they pack everything up and carry it to a new location. So small, portable clean water filters are a good solution to help them stay healthy and productive.

My name is Georgia Evans and this project came about after going on my first two African trips. I visited 6 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 community size water filters placed in central areas and schools. Each village of 50-150 people will get 1-2 community size water filters plus 20-30 or more 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.

We will also be taking some "replacement filters" as well on this trip and plan to revisit some previous villages to see how their water filters and mosquito nets are holding up. It will be a great opportunity to learn about what is working and can be improved or changed on future trips.

Additionally, some funds will go towards buying and distributing mosquito nets that prevent malaria. Malaria is another common 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 village 40-50 mosquito nets for their huts to help prevent malaria.

A portion of the funds will also be going towards helping a few really poor villages who live in mud thatch homes with water proof tarps. Children and elders really suffer from leaky roofs during annual monsoon rains.

Won't you help us provide these lifesaving tools to poor, remote villagers in Tanzania, Africa? I have been there 3 times now and have delivered, assembled and given educational instruction on safety and usage to 11 villages, helping well over 1400 people. However, the need is very great throughout the region and there are many more villages who desperately need clean water and mosquito nets.

As the world becomes safer from Covid I am planning the next trip back to Tanzania this April 2022! Hoping to reach 5-6 more villages with more lifesaving clean water filters and mosquito bed nets.

All of this cost's money. And, 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.

We will also be accepting applications for up to 6 volunteers for our next trip this April 2020.

Many thanks for your support,

Testimonial from Volunteer Eric Holsapple: In Jan 2020 three of us travelled to Tanzania with Georgia to deliver malaria nets and water filters. Georgia (aka Momma Africa) was a great guide and so knowledgeable about the place and its people. We made a huge difference and had a great time seeing the country and experiencing the culture at the same time. I highly recommend this project and if possible, the trip experience. I am truly grateful.
