Stories / Quotes:

Families: 60 households
Water Committee: 4 men and 6 women

Chairman Lawrence Chikhoswe shared that this is the first water well and the first meaningful development in the village.
 “Politicians promised us many times but never fulfilled. I doubted Water Wells for Africa until I saw the drilling rig.”

Before the borehole, women fetched water from the Kasupe River, which led to frequent illness. Sick villagers had to be carried on homemade stretchers to a hospital two hours away.

Now, families are healthier and have time to work in their gardens and earn income.
 “We are happy our families will be healthy and we can support them better,” Lawrence said.

This well has brought health, opportunity, and lasting hope to Chamba and Kapenuka Villages.
