WASARec, Lusaka (2026)

The Centre for Water, Sanitation and Rehabilitation was established and registered in 2021 under the 2009 NGO Act of Zambia. The organisation was founded by Zambians to identify and address local WASH problems in peri-urban communities. Specifically, the organisation partners with various stakeholders to raise awareness on inclusive and climate-resilient WASH governance, build the capacity of loca

l structures to identify and address equity and inclusion issues in WASH provision under CDF, and provides a platform for young people to participate in WASH governance and as agents of change for positive WASH behaviour change. The organisation's vision is a nation where WASH provision is inclusive of all and to ensure socio-economic transformation through inclusive and climate-resilient WASH provision. The organisation also offers psychosocial and referral support to persons with disability and child victims of WASH-induced violence. With collaboration from the Ward Councilors and Zonal representatives, we identify child, women, elderly and disability-headed households with intersectional vulnerabilities and offer them direct WASH infrastructure support. The organisation is open to local and international collaboration on WASH research that informs the development of feasible and inclusive WASH technologies in Zambia and across the region.

Today, 28th January, marks another milestone in WASAReC’s journey toward accelerating access to inclusive, safe, and affordable drinking water.

The Chibolya Water Kiosk Pilot Project was delivered through a strong partnership between WASAReC, Lusaka Water and Sanitation Company, and Viva con Agua, with the cooperation of the Water Trust and community leaders. The project has been implemented at the total cost of K280, 165.

This water kiosk increases community access to water from 6 hours to 13hrs as it will operate throughout the day due to enhancements in terms of the overhead storage and power backup.

🌍 Keep UNZA Clean Drive Flag-Off! 🎉

Today, 17th October 2025, we flagged off the Keep UNZA Clean Drive under the youth-led Lusaka Trashformers Project supported by the Youth Climate Action Fund of Bloomberg Philanthropies and GIZ Zambia’s NatuReS Programme II under the Community Water and Environmental Stewardship Approach.

The drive aims to continue raising awareness and inspiring good waste management practices within the University of Zambia community. It builds on the earlier training of the Student Waste Management Champions, who are now taking the lead in promoting responsible waste disposal, recycling, and environmental stewardship across campus.

Many thanks to our dedicated partners — The University Of Zambia (UNZA), Lusaka Water Security Initiative (Secretariat), GIZ Zambia, Lusaka Solid Waste Management Company, Mckingtorch Zambia, Lusaka City Council and our newest partner, WASAPO Waste Aggregators 🥳, for the continued support and collaboration in driving a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Lusaka. 💚♻️
