This page demonstrates how a future real Yaqina project page may work. It is not a live fundraiser: no contributions are being accepted and the figures above are sample content.
This illustrative project imagines an electrically pumped water-well system serving a rural community in Tanzania. The goal is a reliable, year-round source of clean drinking water, pumped into a storage tank and made available through several taps within a short walk of the households it serves.
The intended outcome is fewer hours spent collecting water, fewer waterborne illnesses, and a small piece of infrastructure that the community can maintain over time. Numbers, timelines and beneficiaries below are placeholders used to demonstrate how a real project page might communicate its plan.
Partner charity
Illustrative nonprofit partner
The partner charity would receive contributions through its own fundraising channel, oversee the project agreement, coordinate with the local implementation team, and provide the documentation required for public updates.
Local implementation team
Illustrative in-country implementation team
The local implementation team would carry out the on-the-ground work: procurement, construction, community coordination and long-term handover.
Yaqina
Project visibility and follow-through platform
Yaqina would present the project, make costs and milestones visible, publish progress updates, and shape the Opening Day experience.

Illustrating how project updates could look. Some include an image or evidence area; others are text only.
March 2026
A sample update showing early scoping: hydrogeological review, community meeting notes and a proposed well location. In a real project this is where evidence photos or a short field report would appear.
May 2026
A sample text-only update. Some updates will not include images — a short written note is often the right format for procurement confirmations, budget notes or brief scheduling changes.
August 2026
A sample update illustrating a mid-project checkpoint: drilling progress, materials on site, and next steps toward Opening Day.
Opening Day is the point at which a completed project is made visible to supporters. For this illustrative water project, it could take the form of a community handover, a first-use moment, a guided walkthrough or an opening ceremony. It might show the water system in operation, revisit key milestones and explain who will be responsible for maintenance. The reference footage below shows one possible ceremony format.
Where feasible, supporters should be able to join Opening Day live. A recording should also be made available afterward for those who cannot join at the scheduled time. The format would be agreed with the community, partner organisation and local implementation team and would follow consent, safeguarding, dignity and safety requirements. Opening Day should be planned for the point of completion or as soon as reasonably possible afterward. The event and its documentation should not unnecessarily delay access to the completed project or withhold an essential service merely for the sake of staging or filming.
A glimpse of Opening Day
Footage filmed by Yaqina’s founder at an opening ceremony in Tanzania a few years ago. The ceremony shown was not part of a Yaqina project.
For a real Yaqina pilot, this section would provide access to that project’s own Opening Day livestream or recording.
A real project page would close the journey by showing what was delivered, how actual expenditure compared with the agreed budget, what changed during implementation, and the final evidence of completion. It would also record the agreed handover, ownership and maintenance arrangements.
Opening Day would sit alongside this record rather than replace it. Where appropriate, later follow-up could be added to show how the completed project is being used and maintained over time.
A real project page would communicate honestly if any of the following happened.
A real page would state honestly if weather, logistics or permitting pushed the schedule, with a revised expected completion.
If material or transport prices moved, the budget breakdown would be updated and the change explained in plain language.
If the fundraiser fell short, the page would describe the options agreed in advance—for example, extending the campaign, reducing the scope, or refunding contributions where applicable.
If the design or location had to change based on what was found on site, the reasoning, any effect on the budget or timeline, and the revised plan would be published here.
These actions will become available with a real pilot project.
