Access to Clean, Safe Water in Zimbabwe

"TOGETHER WE PROVIDE ACCESS TO CLEAN, SAFE AND RELIABLE WATER ACROSS THE GLOBE - ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME."
Access to safe drinking water is a basic human need.

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 2 billion people around the world don’t have access to potable water.

Zimbabweans in far-flung rural areas rely on boreholes and wells as their primary source of water.

This oftens means women and children spend hours gathering water from distant and polluted sources, this is time that could be spent generating an income or attending school.

Perennial droughts have also affected the water supply to this land-locked country, where residents rely on lakes, rivers and dams.

The Gift of the Givers has undertaken Water Provision projects by drilling boreholes and providing clean drinking water via tankers, which has brought relief to thousands of Zimbabweans.

Water Provision in Zimbabwe

Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet for many communities, it remains out of reach. When the residents of Govette in Mvurwi, Mashonaland Central πŸ“, reached out for help, #GiftoftheGivers responded.Our team conducted a site assessment and confirmed that a borehole needs to be drilled between 80 and 100 meters to ensure a sufficient water supply for 120 households in Govette and the surrounding community.Reliable water πŸ’§ access means healthier families, better hygiene, and improved livelihoods. With the right resources, this borehole will change lives, providing clean water for drinking, cooking, and daily needs.Best Among People Are Those Who Benefit Mankind. πŸ’š πŸ’š πŸ’šTo contribute towards our interventions, visit: 🌐: http://www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference#GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #FortheGreatergood #WaterProvision #WaterTankers #Boreholes #32YearsOfServingHumanity #Zimbabwe

Following the 2029 #drought πŸ†˜ and ongoing water crisis in #Adelaide, Eastern Cape, Gift of the Givers drilled and installed a #borehole at Adelaide Gymnasium High School to supplement the school and surrounding community. During loadshedding periods and continued power cuts, the borehole could not pump water and the school and community were left stranded without water. In partnership with Cookhouse Windfarm Project, upgrades were done to the borehole, equipping it with a solar pump, tank stands and electric fencing. A fitting was also installed for our water tankers as well as push button #taps 🚰 for the community to access clean water at any given time. Featured, is the Team putting up new Gift of the Givers Water Project Boards at the borehole.To contribute towards our interventions, visit: 🌐 : http://www.giftofthegivers.org/make-a-difference πŸ“ž : 0800 786 911 #GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #WaterProvision #Water #WaterCrisis #CookhouseWindfarmProject #EasternCape #SA #SouthAfrica #Africa
