In Tanzania 26 million people leave without clean water. About 41 million people do not have proper sanitation facilities and more than 3,000 children under the age of 5 die from diarrhea every year as a result of lack of water and poor sanitation. In the absence of improved sanitation and safe, clean, reliable and sufficient water supply; many people will continue to suffer from increased poverty and disease, food insecurity, and undermine economic development, reduce trade and export opportunities.

STFF calls for international efforts to help provide safe, clean, accessible and affordable drinking water and sanitation to the communities in Tanzania. STFF water programs aim at ensuring that vulnerable populations in Tanzania have reliable access to clean water in such a way that their dignity, rights, culture and natural environment are not negatively impacted.
