WaterAid | Zambia

Only 58% of people in Zambia have safe water and 55% have sanitation.

A reduction in rainfall over the last 30 years has led to falling water tables and impacted on farming and nutrition in Zambia. Poverty is increasing and health is deteriorating.

Active in Zambia since 1994, WaterAid works in four districts to support a range of partners including local authorities, NGOs and small scale private contractors. WaterAid has adopted the 'focus area' approach, supporting a large number of villages in one area, and will continue to supply those in the greatest need with low-cost, sustainable technologies such as hand-dug wells, boreholes, rope pumps and composting latrines.

WaterAid also works at the national level with other water and sanitation organisations to influence their development agenda.
