The Lives of Those We Serve

The lives of the people within our Diocese most commonly revolve around small-holder, rural farming. Mothers and children use an average of 80% of their time collecting water and firewood or traveling to markets, health service facilities and schools.

Most people in rural communities including parishioners scratch out a living as farmers on small plots of land. Many farmers are poorly educated and do not know the best time to plant crops and then how to maximize yield.  The rains are unreliable.  Many families go hungry.

Many within the Diocese are among the 46.6% of Tanzanians the United Nations Human Development Report says subsist on less than US $2 a day.
