Our Work in Action
See what FAD is working on today and how completed projects continue to change daily life in Maasai communities across northern Tanzania.
Current Projects
Three practical priorities identified with Tanzanian leaders and the communities they serve.
School Desks
Thousands of students still learn without proper seating. Each durable desk creates a safer and more focused place for three children to learn.
Well Drilling
FAD is working with local leaders to develop reliable water sources for communities where families and livestock still lack dependable access.
Teacher Housing
Safe housing near rural schools helps communities attract and retain teachers. One home has been completed, and another is planned.
Our Long-Term Water Vision
To see communities throughout Longido District transformed as all 51 villages gain reliable access to clean, abundant water for people and livestock.
Completed Projects: Changing Daily Life
The clearest proof of this work is what happens after a project is completed. These images show water flowing, children learning and communities building a stronger future.
Water Creates New Possibilities

Children Can Learn with Dignity
