Village Water is a medium sized UK charity that supports the WASH work of their partner organisations in Zambia and Mozambique. Their work began in 2004 with community-based integrated WASH projects, with increasing emphasis placed over the following years on extending their reach and strengthening the local private sector by training and supporting local well-digging enterprises. More recently Village Water has begun to develop the first of a series of district master plans for Nalolo District in the Western Province of Zambia. To do this Village Water is working closely with local authorities to map out what is needed and to co-design projects to achieve universal and sustained access to safe WASH services across the district.
The Waterloo Foundation has supported Village Water on this journey since 2009, and we were delighted to hear in early 2022 that Village Water had reached its millionth person- a considerable achievement!
