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.
