Due to a difficult political and economic situation, Zimbabwe’s water supply and sanitation services have been in decline since the 1990s. Many rural communities have no source of clean water, forcing villagers to walk long distances on a daily basis to collect water from unsafe sources.
Today, 98% of those without an improved drinking water source live in rural areas, and up to 42% of the rural population still practices open defecation. This leaves millions of Zimbabweans at risk of waterborne diseases.
We’re working to change this dynamic in Zimbabwe & across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The proceeds raised will be used towards our next planned water well installation project in Zimbabwe.
