Hafirs
- Rainwater Collection Tanks for Home Garden
Irrigation
A
gift of a hafir creates a home water source to
reduce the need for women and children to haul
water long distances. This 12 m3 trench is lined
and covered with plastic to decrease evaporation
and filtration. Surrounded by a natural jatropha
tree or acacia thorn fence to keep animals and
small children out, a hafir can hold 12,000
liters of water and only costs 1/50th of other
conventional options! During the rains, the tank
collects and stores rainwater that can then be
used for various tasks during the dry season,
such as watering home gardens.

Chicken
Vaccination Project
A
gift of vaccinating chickens against Newcastle
Disease will provide a family with increased
nutrition and sources of income. Each year
Newcastle Disease kills 70% of the chicken
population in Tanzania. Since chickens are the
livestock of the poor and vulnerable including
children, this disease has a major impact on the
lives and well-being of a large portion of the
population. In 2009, GSC launched a project
called "Catch That Chicken" which focuses on
vaccinating chickens against this disease. These
vaccinations reduce losses to Newcastle Disease
by up to 75%, which dramatically increases
availability of eggs and poultry for consumption
by most vulnerable populations.
