Through the commitment of supporters like you, Habitat for Humanity is transforming lives by creating decent homes and communities where people can thrive.
Alongside our work to provide homes, our WaSH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) initiatives give entire communities the tools they need to thrive.
Clean water is, of course, essential in preventing illness and provides a foundation for healthy, resilient communities.
At Habitat for Humanity, we believe that community involvement is key to the success of every project.
Community Partnerships for Safe Water
In Mapepe, Zambia, our water initiatives are more than just installations – they’re a partnership with the community, ensuring that clean water brings lasting change and a brighter future, where home equals health.
Elina, a resident and community board member, helps manage the upkeep of the new Habitat for Humanity water point.
“The community board works to ensure everyone in the neighbourhood has access to the safe and clean water facilities that Habitat for Humanity has provided. I make sure that the pump and taps are working correctly and I report any issues that need repair” says Elina.
From Projects to Lifelong Impact
For Elina and her neighbours, the responsibility of maintaining these facilities has brought a sense of empowerment and unity. By supporting community boards and training local leaders, we ensure that projects are cared for long after installation, keeping the water flowing and building confidence and skills that benefit the entire neighbourhood.
With your support, we can continue our vital work to uplift the lives of vulnerable people in Zambia and around the world. Your donation today could help us build safe, decent homes where families can nurture their dreams of a brighter future.
And this Christmas, you can have twice the impact as your donation will be DOUBLED by a generous funding partner. Together, we can create a world where home equals hope, dignity, and the chance to dream. Thank you.
