Clean water, decent toilets & hygiene are essential for good health. But millions of people in Africa still live without them. Providing these basics changes lives: women & girls can be more than just water collectors; children can go to school & families can work their way out of poverty.

Situation
In rural Zambia & Mozambique, waterborne diseases are common because most of the population does not have safe water to drink & only 10% has a decent toilet. Preventable diseases like diarrhoea stop families from fulfilling their potential: children are too sick for school, adults have no energy for farming or work. Collecting water means females have little time for productive activities. Lack of education & support leaves people without the skills needed to maintain their facilities long-term.
Solution
Help us to change the lives of approximately 3000 people. We work with communities to improve hygiene & support them to build their own sanitation facilities from freely available materials. Then a safe waterpoint is installed or repaired by teams we have trained & helped to establish as independent businesses. Each community is taught how to maintain their waterpoint & linked to the well drilling team for more serious repairs. Long-term monitoring & support ensures the changes are lasting
