Chitongo Dam Sustains Namwala Community Through Devastating El Niño Drought

During last year’s El Niño drought, fields dried up, hunger spread, and children walked long distances in search of food and water. But in Namwala’s Chitongo community, the Chitongo Dam constructed by World Vision Zambia became a lifeline and gave hope.

“During the El Nino Drought, families found livelihood from the dam, developed gardens, and took their animals for water at the dam,” said Marc Nosbach, National Director, World Vision Zambia. “At World Vision, we walk alongside communities before, during, and after a crisis, investing in lasting solutions that protect children, families, and their future.” #Resilience #ElNinoResponse #Livelihood
