WIPAHS (World Islamic Propagation and Humanitarian Services) is an independent non governmental organization (NGO), registered as a charitable humanitarian trust in Tanzania.
In the month of Ramadhan 1984, a group of friends got together with the sole purpose of improving the well-being of the local community.[1]
This group of friends began work by distributing Islamic books, Qur'ans and learning aids to local schools and Madrasahs. The local population lived in poverty and access to many areas proved difficult. It was also very difficult for the local people to have access to clean water.
This observation inspired the idea of digging wells in remote areas, especially near mosques, Madrasahs, schools, and populated villages.
The members were also forced to review their activities and decided to give special attention to the aspect of education and women. This led to the initiation of the Wali Ul Asr Education Centre (WEC).
Wipahs has dug more than 800 shallow wells in various remote areas like Bagamoyo District, Pwani, Mkuranga District, Pwani, Temeke District, Dar es Salaam,,,, . Each well can sustain up to 400 heads. [2]
This shallow well project is carried out under the Give water to the thirsty Project.
Under the Wali-Ul-Asr Education Centre (WEC), WIPAHS has built several learning institutions. They are:
