Sustainable Water And Sanitation

Home

In Zambia most rural villagers do not have access to enough clean water.  A village woman often spends three hours a day carrying one 20-litre plastic container of water. This is not sufficient water for drinking, cooking and washing. Diarrhoea and other water-borne diseases are common and life-threatening.

Village Water believes that no one should be that deprived of water in our modern world.

How we use the money we receive:

  • £450 could pay for a pump
  • £200 could buy cement for a new well
  • £40 could buy  cement for a rehabilitated well
  • £150 a week of pump mender training for 2 villagers
  • £300 for 3 field workers to carry out a full programme of hygiene and sanitation training in a community
  • £100 all vehicle costs for one community programme
