Tanzania

Our Partnerships

PWS&D is working with the Africa Inland Church of Tanzania (AICT) to better equip communities to deal with drought, stave off critical food shortages, reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases and support people living with HIV and AIDS. Through these programs, small-scale farmers access sorghum and vegetable seeds to diversify their crops and reduce their susceptibility to drought and food insecurity. Farmers are encouraged to return a small portion of the seeds from their harvest to the community seed bank where the seeds are stored in the event of a crop failure, and if the surplus isn’t otherwise needed, it is sold to fund other community programs. PWS&D is also helping to install wells and rainwater harvest tanks to reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases and improve local access to clean water. People living with and affected by HIV and AIDS, such as widows, orphans and grandparents caring for orphans access counselling services, food, nutritional and educational support through home-based care and voluntary counselling and testing clinics.
