Fact File
💬 Maria, a widow from the local community, said :
“Since this borehole was rehabilitated in 2018 by this project, my health improved. My legs were always in pain each time I travel the 6km walk to get water from the next borehole. It is now history as this borehole reduced the distance by 5km. I now have spare time to do other economic activities without taking the daily horrible and tiresome routine journey I used to travel”.

About this Project
The Problem
In Zimbabwe, the rehabilitation of boreholes is a critical issue. Many communities lack access to clean and safe drinking water due to non-functional boreholes. This problem not only affects the health and well-being of the communities but also hinders economic development and exacerbates poverty in these areas.
The Solution
The project focuses on rehabilitating boreholes to provide reliable access to clean water. It involves a comprehensive maintenance program, including reporting faults, breakdowns, and implementing a usage survey to ensure the effective functioning of the boreholes. This initiative significantly improves water availability, directly impacting the health, economic stability, and overall quality of life for local communities.
