About this project

Chipangali Safe Water Access Projects aims to improve livelihoods of about 25,000 people living in Chipangali District in Zambia by providing sufficient, affordable and clean drinking water to targeted communities within reasonable proximity and using purification technologies that are safe for the environment thus reducing the carbon emissions. The Project plans to rehabilitate the existing boreholes not functioning and with no plan of repair or maintenance and improve them to work in full capacity as well as to establish new hand pumped boreholes where access to boreholes is at a distance more than 1km or 30 minutes round trip. The Project will also deliver continuous maintenance to ensure the water supplied by each borehole is safe and boreholes are operational in full working order and provide annual WASH trainings to raise awareness about personal hygiene issues.
