2017 Construction of a catholic church

The old church in Kileguru in Tanga Province in Tanzania had become too small for the village and was in need of renovation. The village residents are Christians and so the pastor approached me with a request for support for the expansion and renovation. I had the idea to start a building block project. Each building block cost € 10. and so everyone could support the project with one or more building blocks.

With the help of the Christian mission office, a new church was built.
The names of the donors were recorded in a book that is kept in the church. So every benefactor is included in the Maasai prayer.
Asante = Thanks for the support           ( >>>Gallery)

2016 Construction of a deep well project "Clean drinking water for Tanzania"

Good things take time, you can see that with this fountain:

This fountain was planned as early as 2012, but could not be implemented until spring 2015. The people in the village before only drank the water from the holes in the ground, which led to many diseases. It was very difficult to build this well because clean drinking water was only found at a depth of 110 meters.
More than 300 million people (out of over a billion) in Africa do not have adequate access to clean drinking water. Water is also in short supply in agriculture. The water supply in rural areas is particularly critical. Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. More than 1/3 of the population lives below the poverty line. 19.5% of the population can neither read nor write. The inhabitants of rural areas, such as the Maasai tribes, are particularly disadvantaged.

With the financial help from the Autonomous province of Bolzano, in 2015 we finally had clean water in the village for the first time!
The joy was great.         >>>Gallery
TOTAL COST: 15.000,- €.

2014 Construction of a small school for girls -> had to be replaced

Since the girls in the village have to work and have no opportunity to go to school, a married teacher has agreed to teach the girls to read and write and do basic math for a few hours every day as the sun rises. Since her hut was too small for this purpose, she asked us if we could build a small school in the village. With the help of Schützen Montan (German for "marksmen's club") and many voluntary donors, this came about. Girls big and small have been attending this school since autumn 2014. The big ones to study and the little ones to have a kind of kindergarten.

Unfortunately, the teacher in question passed away and had to be replaces by a young capable teacher, who continues the small school.           ( >>>Gallery )

TOTAL COST: 7.000,- €.

2012
Purchase of water unit and water pump

In the dry season, the water for the animals has to be scooped out of holes in the ground with buckets. By purchasing the water pump and an water unit, the water can be pumped out of the water holes faster and the animals do not have to be thirsty for so long.

TOTAL COST: 1.000,- €. (with the help of the Aut. Prov. Bozen)

2011
Initially I help with material for villagers in need (food, clothing)
