Moya, Mayoka and Kilimamoja are rural communities in the Babati District, adjacent to Lake Manyara National Park. Despite progress in recent years, these communities continue to face challenges related to infrastructure and access to safe and clean water. For many households, collecting water remains a time-consuming and physically demanding task, limiting opportunities for education, livelihoods and household wellbeing.
The Wild Impact Climate Resilient Communities programme recognises that impoverished rural communities live at the “coal face” of climate change, being directly affected by increased variability in temperature and rainfall. With a particular focus on food and water security, the programme aims to strengthen resilience and improve the wellbeing of vulnerable households across partner communities such as those in the Lake Manyara landscape.
Through the generous donors of the Midmar Mile fundraising campaign held in 2025, vulnerable households were identified in consultation with local traditional councils to receive Hippo Water Rollers. These rollers enable families to transport larger quantities of water more efficiently, reducing the burden of water collection and improving access to an essential resource.
Through practical water access solutions and community-based support, the programme is helping households build resilience to climate-related challenges while improving quality of life and long-term wellbeing.
