In our bid to bring safe and clean water, SBL and Water Aid Tanzania inaugurated a Tsh 293 million water project at Kihanju village, Itigi ward in Manyoni district, Singida region.

With the capacity to serve over 2,000 people directly, the jointly financed project consists of a borehole and its systems, a water pump, a water tank, and a distribution network.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, SBL Managing Director, Mark Ocitti, said the project, dubbed "Water of Life," is among similar initiatives that the brewer has undertaken in the Mara, Iringa, Kilimanjaro, Mwanza, Tanga, Manyara Ruvuma, Dar es Salaam, Coast and Dodoma regions, providing over one million beneficiaries with clean and safe water.

"SBL has a policy commitment towards the wellbeing of our community, with Water of Life being one of our four priority areas that our company has defined in its objective to provide social support to the community in which it serves," said Mark.

The guest of honor at the function, Singida Regional Commissioner Hon. Peter Serukamba, thanked SBL for providing the much-needed support, saying that the brewer has been at the forefront in promoting development projects in the country that lead to a healthy and productive society.

The partnership between WaterAid and SBL goes back to January 2019, and since then we have been able to work together on several projects which have made a difference to thousands of needy Tanzanians in different parts of the country
