Jean Fisher, the president of Inner Wheel Okehampton, presenting a cheque for £500 to Vivien England of Devon Aid Korogwe.

The Devon Aid Korogwe (DAK) charity helps to bring clean water to villages in Tanzania, particularly in the area of Korogwe.

DAK insists on a 'partnership' with the villagers so they are made to feel responsibility and ownership towards their new water supplies. If contributing their labour is not an option, because of the topography of the area, then a financial contribution is agreed upon.

Up to June this year DAK had installed pipelines into five villages, 54 wells into 45 villages, three spring boxes and replaced eight obsolete pumps for another five villages, making a total of more than 50,000 people helped.
