Boreholes in Zambia
Buy a share of a well building project and help reduce infectiousness diseases amongst locals
In collaboration with our local partner in Zambia, Women For Change, DanChurchAid has undertaken well building to provide clean water to the citizens of Zambia.
The area of Southern District is often dry and long droughts are common. The water supply is thus unstable and often polluted. One of the consequences of the water pollution can be seen in the widespread diseases of dysentery, cholera, rabies and other infectiousness diseases prevailing amongst the locals.
Often, children and women are in charge of collecting water for their villages and homes – sometimes walking extremely long distances to do so. Often, the water they collect is polluted...
The plan is to build boreholes as well as shallow wells - boreholes are a more permanent solution in comparison to shallow wells that often only last 4-5 seasons.
The wells in Zambia is sold pro rata - 5 parts per well at DKK 12,000. Apart from covering the costs of the construction itself, the total price of DKK 60,000 also covers educating the locals in maintenance of the wells as well as minor repairs.
