Raincatcher is a grant giving charity that funds water projects in Tanzania.

Our vision is to work with the local community in Tanzania to create and improve water supply for those who need it most.

We fund the construction of underground water tanks that store harvested rainwater. Because rainwater is the purest water you can find, this creates a safe sustainable supply. We also fund the digging of shallow wells that can provide access to safe water for a whole village.

Raincatcher was established in 2002 and is committed to solving problems of water supply and storage. As well as achieving its direct aim, Raincatcher's work provides other indirect benefits for the local community. To build a water tank funded by Raincatcher, employment will be provided for local engineers, brickmakers and labourers, and all the materials used in construction are purchased from local retailers.

Based in the UK, 99% of Raincatcher's funding goes to overseas projects.
