The scarcity leads to an increased risk of contracting diarrheal diseases, which is one of the leading causes of death on the continent. Therefore, people rely on wells and boreholes to survive. But there aren't enough to serve people living far from urban centers.
We want to help change that, but we need your help!
We're asking for your donations to help us build wells and boreholes in Zimbabwe, where roughly a quarter of the population lives without access to clean drinking water
