In Tanzania, access to clean water and sanitation in schools and health facilities is declining. USAID supports sustainable water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services to improve health and increase the economic resiliency of the poor in rural areas.
Why Our Work Matters…
Globally, 2 million children die each year from diarrheal disease because they lack access to clean water.

Results

15,985 people in target areas received improved access to drinking water supply

Improved drinking water sources are protected from outside contamination. Using an improved drinking water decreases the incidence of waterborne disease, especially among children under age five.

1,640 people in target areas received improved access to sanitation facilities

An improved sanitation facility separates waste from human contact following standard protocol. Using an improved sanitation facility decreases the incidence of waterborne disease among household members, especially among children under age five.
