Our Impact

Creating lasting impact where the need is greatest

Creating local, life changing, sustainable impact

Village Water has worked in Mozambique and Zambia through partnerships since 2004. In 2021, we started our first District Wide Project in Nalolo district Zambia, and since then we have developed two more.

We prioritise the most in need and use detailed monitoring and data to guide our work, track impact, and promote sustainable, locally led WASH systems. By empowering communities and strengthening local capacity, we aim to create lasting, life-changing impact – leaving no one behind. So far, we have supported thousands of communities, transforming millions of lives with clean water and better hygiene.
