Funds you raise will help people, like Sisilia, living in poverty by providing the resources and support they need to build a better future.

Sisilia, a 13-year-old from remote northern Tanzania, faced immense challenges including poverty, unsafe water and poor sanitation. After her father passed away, she supported her mother by fetching water three times a day, often through unsafe and exhausting conditions that left little time for study. With support from the A+ Successor Project, clean water taps have been installed at her school and her village, easing her burden and improving health across the community. Through the SWASH Club, Sisilia has become a leader, teaching her peers and parents about hygiene and sanitation. With the time saved from collecting water, Sisilia hopes to fulfil her dream of one day becoming a pilot.
