WATER WELL DRILLING IN DAR ES SALAAM-TANZANIA

The Tanzania UMC Conference started as a churchplanting movement with a desire to become a full annualconference. Its purpose is to establish urban churchcenters with an ability to be self - leading, self-replicating and self - sustaining with the understandingthat they will reach out to help other churches aroundthem.

Reason why, last year we purchased a land (15 acres)here in Dar es Salaam city and already built there ahouse to use as a store. This year, after cleaning 6 acresand grow corns and cassava, the water well project hasbeen completed as well. Mean while we bought a biggenerator and 2 machines for bricks making. We arenow waiting for official documents from the governmentbefore to start with the phase I for the Guest Houseerection; we need money for the construction materials.
