What a decade of community water investment by Serengeti Breweries Limited has taught Tanzania about the partnership between business and the country it serves.

In a quiet corner of Karatu District in Arusha Region, on the morning of 30th April 2026, water flowed for the first time through the new pipes of Baray.

For more than 15,000 men, women and children who call that village home, the day marked the end of long walks in search for the liquid that is called life - Water.

For Serengeti Breweries Limited (SBL), it marked something else: the completion of its 30th community water project in Tanzania, a milestone that the organization marks with pride.

Thirty projects. Eleven regions. Over 2.3 million Tanzanians reached. More than two billion shillings invested. And more than one hundred women trained, empowered, and placed at the centre of how water is governed in their own communities through a unique Water Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) empowerment programme, for women in the recipient communities, that was run concurrently with the water projects.
