Tanzania – Pemba Island & Mainland Projects Solar Home Systems We funded and installed 601 solar home systems in off-grid villages across Pemba Island. These systems have replaced unsafe kerosene lighting with clean, reliable electricity, improving household safety, children’s study conditions, and overall quality of life. Food Distribution Our trustees and volunteers conduct annual food distribution programmes in some of the most remote and economically deprived areas of Pemba Island. For Ramadan , 1,650 food parcels—each containing staple items such as rice, sugar, flour, oil, and dates, and sufficient to support a family for approximately one month—were delivered by our UK volunteer team. Additional distributions were also carried out in other parts of Tanzania. We also facilitated a distribution project in Kiunga, Kenya, where 600 food parcels were delivered to residents in the remote village of Kiwungwa. To support nutritional needs during the year, 6 goats and 23 cows were purchased, and the meat was distributed to vulnerable families. Water Projects We delivered a water project in Pujini Village, providing residents with access to clean and safe water, reducing reliance on unsafe sources and improving community health. Livelihood & Empowerment – Fishing Boats As part of our economic empowerment initiative, we provided nine fibre fishing boats to local fishermen who previously relied on traditional wooden boats. This support has enhanced their safety, productivity, and long-term income potential. Agriculture & Sustainability – Tree Plantation We planted 600 coconut trees in Kiyu Michweni as a long-term income-generating initiative to support our educational institutions.
Community Facilities – Prayer Facilities We constructed two community prayer facilities in areas where no communal space previously existed. These serve as essential hubs for community gathering and social cohesion.

Sanitation We funded and completed a toilet sanitation project for an elderly widow, improving hygiene, safety, and dignity within her home.

The site will include a small eco-hotel, a restaurant, an organic farm with animals, a community mosque, and an international primary school for orphans and children from low-income families. The purpose of Waterfall Retreat is to create a long-term, sustainable income stream for the charity. The retreat will operate as a social enterprise:
● All net proceeds generated from guest stays, the restaurant, farm produce, and associated activities will be used to fund our education programmes, orphan support, and community development projects across Tanzania. ● The on-site school will directly serve disadvantaged children, providing free international education. ● The project is designed to reduce long-term reliance on donations by creating a stable, ethical income source. Waterfall Retreat therefore forms a core part of our strategy for sustainability, empowerment, and long-term impact.
