SBL hands over Kwadelo water project

Dodoma. More than 14,000 residents of Kwadelo Ward in Kondoa District, Dodoma Region, are set to benefit from improved access to clean and safe water following the completion and handover of a new water project by Serengeti Breweries Limited (SBL).

The TZS 292 million project, implemented in partnership with the Africa Community Advancement Initiative (Africai), was officially commissioned yesterday in a ceremony graced by the Minister of Livestock and Fisheries and Kondoa MP, Dr. Ashatu Kijaji.

Speaking during the event, Dr. Kijaji applauded SBL for its contribution in bridging the water gap in communities that have long faced water shortages.

“This is the kind of collaboration we need, where the private sector becomes an active driver of social change. Water is not just a necessity, it is dignity, health, and opportunity,” she said.

The project includes a high-capacity submersible pump, a pump house, a reinforced cement storage tank, a comprehensive pipe distribution network, and 11 community water points capable of supplying 107 cubic metres of water daily.

SBL Managing Director Obinna Anyalebechi said the initiative aligns with the company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals and Tanzania’s Vision 2050.

“Water is life. This project reflects our deep-rooted belief that sustainable access to water is foundational for social and economic progress. At SBL, we are proud to support national development efforts by bridging water gaps in underserved communities,” he said.

Since 2010, SBL has implemented 28 water projects across the country, providing safe water to more than 2 million Tanzanians under its “Water of Life” programme.

The company reiterated its commitment to continue investing in similar projects and called on other private sector players and development partners to collaborate in improving lives in communities across Tanzania.

“This commissioning is not the end—it’s the beginning of a brighter, healthier future for Kwadelo Ward and beyond,” SBL said in a statement.
