Program Activities
Well Construction & Management
To improve clean water access, the Mo Dewji Foundation has been building wells in Singida since 2001. As a flagship charitable activity of the Foundation, the wells have required regular monitoring and maintenance over time. We continue to build capacity and make plans for more wells nationwide.
Community Education
Good well management requires people to regularly check the well and ensure it is being operated with best practice. Given that many wells were constructed in areas that never had wells before, the Foundation has become a trainer for proper well use and maintenance to ensure sustainability.
Policy Engagement
Mo Dewji is a former Member of Parliament representing the Singida region of Tanzania. Given his personal experience and the company MeTL’s collective history in policy analysis and development, the Foundation works closely with water authorities to promote the well construction and management project.
