East Africa River Mission
Clean water, education, food, and livelihood programs along the Rufiji River.
The work
We support the poverty-stricken ten villages along the Rufiji River in Tanzania, Africa, particularly concentrating on the four villages of Kipo, Kipugira, Ngorongo and Mloka. We develop Playgrounds and Soccer Fields on donated land from the tribes, constructing playground equipment and providing Dinner Clubs and Sports Programs for the youth and men. We build homes for local families, and run Water Well Projects to provide clean drinking water to the villages and villagers. We also provide English Instruction to help the villagers obtain gainful employment, provide groceries to needy families and empower local women through the Lidia Room, teaching practical and sewing skills.
Charitable purpose
These activities directly and meaningfully advance the relief of poverty and the advancement of education for these children and families along the Rufiji River.
