💧 Restoring Lifesaving Water Access in Masvingo province.
During the 45-day Anticipatory Action for Flood-Induced Disease Outbreak project, implemented by FACT Zimbabwe, in partnership with Tearfund, with support from Start Network rehabilitated 30 boreholes across Bikita, Chiredzi, and Zaka, restoring safe and reliable water for thousands of households.
From repairing pumps and replacing pipes to cleaning boreholes and strengthening drainage systems, these upgrades reduced long walking distances, cut reliance on unsafe water sources, and protected communities from waterborne diseases.
Community‑led Water Point Committees played a central role, ensuring ownership, sustainability, and long‑term impact.
Safe water saves lives.
