🌱 Safe water is part of a much bigger picture.

In Imana Village, Zambia, families are using keyhole gardens to grow vegetables close to home throughout the year. These small, raised gardens conserve water and use a central composting area to create nutrient-rich soil.

The result? More vegetables for families to eat, and the opportunity to sell surplus produce for extra income.

Safe water opens up possibilities.

📚 Happy International Teachers’ Day!

Today, we’re celebrating teachers like Chilomo, who teaches English, Science and Home Economics in Mumbwa, Zambia.

Before safe water was available at her school, teachers and students relied on a busy handpump, often facing long queues and disruptions during the school day. Today, thanks to the work of our partner ECHO, reliable safe water is available through taps at the school, while nearby communities have access to their own water points.

Access to safe water helps create a better environment for teachers to focus on what matters most: supporting their students.

In rural communities across Zambia and Mozambique, many families rely on unsafe water sources and often boil water using wood or charcoal to make it safe to drink. While effective, this contributes to carbon emissions and places pressure on local natural resources.

CO2 Balance is supporting Village Water to deliver a water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) project in Mozambique and Zambia, working alongside communities to improve access to safe water while reducing carbon emissions.

Through the CO2 project, funding is directed towards rehabilitating handpumps and improving water access, helping communities move away from unsafe water sources and reducing the need to boil water at household level.

This project is a practical example of how climate finance can support essential services like safe water, delivering measurable impact for communities while also contributing to emissions reductions.
