Shilton Sharpe Quarry (SSQ) this year is supporting Streetkids, a children’s charity based in Frankfurt, which seeks to improve the living conditions of disadvantaged children in Tanzania and currently cares for 17 children in two orphanages in Dar es Salaam.

The project involved the development of a reliable water supply to an orphanage through the installation of a pump, piping, generator and water tanks. In addition to making a donation towards development costs, three members of staff from SSQ’s London and Frankfurt offices travelled to Tanzania in April to work on the project.
