This research report provides evidence to support the work of Raleigh Tanzania in rural communities. It finds that access to water and sanitation remains a significant issue, with over 50% of rural residents lacking access. Community resilience is also a challenge, as the majority of the population relies on subsistence farming and small businesses for income. Youth unemployment is high, and entrepreneurship opportunities limited. The report recommends that Raleigh Tanzania continue its work in water and sanitation, community development, and supporting youth initiatives to address these ongoing development needs in Tanzania.
