Transforming Lives with Water: Care Aid Africa Foundation and The Desk and Chair Foundation Partner to Donate Well No. 833 in Kibarama, Kagera Region

Access to clean and safe water is a basic human right, yet it remains out of reach for millions across the globe. In a powerful act of compassion and collaboration, Care Aid Africa Foundation, in partnership with The Desk and Chair Foundation, has brought that right closer to home for hundreds of families in Kagera Region through the donation of Well No. 833.

Located in Kibarama Subvillage, Ruwagati Village, Kemondo Ward, within Bukoba District Council, this new water well was officially handed over on 25th May 2025. It now serves as a critical lifeline for the community, benefiting approximately 220 families and reaching over 1,400 people on a daily basis.

For years, residents of Kibarama and surrounding areas have faced immense challenges in accessing clean water. Women and children often walked long distances under the scorching sun, sometimes exposing themselves to unsafe water sources. With this new well, made possible through the partnership of Care Aid Africa Foundation and The Desk and Chair Foundation, those burdens have been significantly reduced.

“This well is more than just a water sourceit’s a symbol of hope, health, and dignity,” said a local community leader during the handover ceremony. “We are truly grateful to both organizations for making this dream a reality.”

Impact Beyond Water
The well’s impact extends far beyond hydration. It enhances public health by reducing waterborne diseases, improves school attendance by freeing children from long water-fetching journeys, and supports economic empowerment by allowing women to redirect their time and energy to income-generating activities.

This initiative also supports Tanzania’s national water and sanitation goals and aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All.

A Model of Partnership and Purpose
The collaboration between Care Aid Africa Foundation and The Desk and Chair Foundation is a shining example of how partnerships can amplify impact. Their shared vision and dedication to community development have made a meaningful difference in the lives of the people of Kibarama.

Let this story serve as both inspiration and a call to action inviting more stakeholders, donors, and organizations to join hands in building a better, more equitable future.
