Fresh Water in Mulundu!

We are feeling grateful, because there’s now access to clean water at the Mulundu Community Center in Luapula, Zambia! Thanks to a generous grant from the Community of Christ World Hunger Committee, this water project includes drilling a borehole to an underground water source and installing a solar-powered pump to fill a 5,000-liter water tank connected with a faucet. 

Our Kafwa volunteer health worker leaders organized for the first day of drilling at the center. Together with community members, the Kafwa team, and children who attend preschool at the center, there was quite a crowd to welcome the workmen and share in the excitement when they hit the water source! (Click below to see a video from the first day of drilling and the group’s excitement!)

The water now supplied to this location can be used by surrounding community members as potable drinking water, tending the community gardens that nourish families, and proper sanitation at the center, where numerous programs take place. We are thrilled and grateful for all the ways this access to clean water will impact the health and wellbeing of the community!
