Local NGO Office This amount funded our local NGO non-profit office in Tanzania. To operate more efficiently our Tanzania friends established an NGO locally in 2006 named Tanzania Life Project T to differentiate their organization from ours in the USA named Tanzania Life Project. We have 4 local Tanzania people working out of that office to implement all the projects noted in section 4. This entails engaging local service agencies to drill the wells build the reservoirs etc. as well as managing all the finances and other activities surrounding these projects. They have separate bank accounts to keep separate the main functions of the office management and project management. The office staff reports to us monthly on all these accounts and actions taken including bank statements ledger sheets and receipts for all expenditures. Cost for the office includes health insurance for their team.

Chipanga Village This is our 20th village It has a population of 8920 We began the project by having the villagers attend both men and women empowerment seminars and then develop human rights by-laws with consequences to stop old harmful practices of beating wives marrying off young children and performing female genital mutilation They came up with several more cultural improvements all of which had to be done before we began drilling the well During the year we completed the geological survey and drilled a successful well Viullage
