Shinyanga Project
Naked have partnered with Oxfam to help support the Shinyanga Project. The project is taking a multiple approach to tackle the issues around education and sanitation; through this project 10,000 people will benefit from improved water and sanitation facilities by:
- Constructing rainwater tanks for four schools.
- Installing latrines for both girls and boys in each of the four schools.
- Building four wells for their communities.
- Train 100 new teachers and provide further training to 368 year one and year two teachers.
- Support 340 existing mentors and train 20 new mentors.
- Supply materials to schools for children with disabilities.
- Produce child-centred teaching guides for every school in Shinyanga.
“Our products promote washing and bathing, and in most cases are made with water. A simple shower after sports or a relaxing bath is often a luxury which we take for granted. Millions are without basic water and we wanted to find a project which had water at its heart and felt that Oxfam’s long term projects in Tanzania were enabling communities to address many issues”
says Rachel Groom – General Manager, Naked.
We are delighted to be partnering with Naked. Both Oxfam and Naked share strong ethical values and a commitment to caring for the global community and supporting the planet. We’re excited about the impact we can have together and right now Naked’s support is vital in helping us to get access to clean water and sanitation to over 10,000 people in Shinyanga, Tanzania.”
