WINE TO WATER
East Africa
For over 10 years, we have provided ceramic water filters to Tanzanian communities, giving them access to safe water. These locally made filters kill 99.9% of bacteria, reducing disease risk, especially for young children. Partnering with Overseas Adventure Travel, we’ve improved thousands of lives in rural areas.
About us
Background
Access to safe, clean drinking water remains a major challenge in many rural areas. People often rely on ponds or dams, where the water is dirty and sometimes contaminated. This water poses serious health risks without proper filtration or purification methods, especially when clean rivers or sufficient rainwater are unavailable. This crisis disproportionately affects women and children, low-income families, who are unable to afford bottled water or live far from reliable piped water systems.
VISION
To ensure human communities are free from waterborne diseases by providing access to clean and safe drinking water for all.
WHO ARE WE
WINE TO WATER East Africa is a non-profit organization registered under the Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Women and Special Groups with the registration number I-NGO/R/0305 at Ngulelo in Arusha Region, Tanzania. This organization aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Number 6 clean water and sanitation.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to provide access to clean and safe water while promoting water, sanitation, and hygiene education to foster better health and economic well-being in rural communities
What We Do
For over 10 years, we have provided local communities with ceramic water filters helping them to get safe and clean water. This locally produced water filtration system is made of clay soil, sawdust and colloidal silver. The mixture of these raw materials and the firing process produces a porous ceramic pot essential for water filtration that kills 99.9% of bacteria in water and reduces water turbidity. This filter provides clean and safe water for families, and reduces water-borne disease risks, especially for children under 5 years. This filter is generally time saving, economical and safe for human health.
The organization has been collaborating with tourist companies in programs such as “giving back to the community we travel to.” For over 10 years, Overseas Adventure Travel has been the most impactful tour company that has provided ceramic water filters and changed thousands of lives in rural areas of Tanzania.
Get Involved
WWEA hosts volunteers, scholars and interns with a passion for water filter production, community involvement, sanitation and hygiene education.
Donate
A filter costs 50$ and lasts for at least 5 years serving a family of up to 8 people. To date, over 50,000 filters equivalent to 400,000 people have been positively impacted by these filters but the demand is still high. By donating water filters, we aim at reaching a larger number of people especially those vulnerable to water-borne diseases and living in rural areas.
Donate to provide ceramic water filters, support the community outreach program through water sanitation and hygiene in schools, and drilling of wells in areas with no access to water.
