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.
