Chikwa WASH Energy Project: Impacting lives and opening opportunities

The Chikwa WASH Energy Project by World Vision Zambia and its partners is transforming lives in Chama district by providing clean, reliable water to over 5,700 people. This innovative project integrates solar-powered water systems, ensuring sustainable access to safe drinking water while also reducing the burden on women and children who previously had to walk long distances to fetch water. 

Beyond improving health and sanitation, the project is creating new business opportunities, as access to water has enabled small-scale irrigation, livestock rearing, and local entrepreneurship.
