Sustainable Water And Sanitation

Rotary Involvement With Village Water

The work of Village Water in Zambia is

Supported by Rotary

Litawa sponsored by Royston Rotary Club England

We are most grateful for the loyal support of over 50 Rotary Clubs from RIBI and Europe.  Many of these are linked to communities in Zambia where the provision of clean accessible water together with a community led sanitation programme has dramatically improved health, education prospects and income generation.

 

Why should your club support Village Water?

  • Over the years that Rotary Clubs have supported Village Water, a long term relationship has been fostered between the Clubs, Village Water and their local partner.
  • Each village that Village Water works with is asked to contribute time, commitment and resources to the project, relative to their living situation.
  • Improved sanitation and hygiene are addressed before installing access to safe water – this is what makes the work sustainable.
  • Villagers are trained so they can maintain the water source long into the future.
  • On an on-going basis, Village Water evaluates the progress in water, sanitation and hygiene that villages makes.
  • Visiting Rotarians have been instrumental in chartering the Mongu Rotary Club, the first in the Western Province.
  • Village Water are small enough to care and to be flexible in their dealings with donors.
