2024 project summary
A grant of £1000 to support the rehabilitation of non-functional boreholes at Muonekera primary school and surrounding community of Chipoka in Salima District.
Cannon Chenjezi, Director at Luso Langa, stated that the project aimed to restore non-functional boreholes in Chipoka, Traditional Authority Ndindi. The area reported many cholera cases in the 2023/2024 outbreak so was a priority to bring back clean water to the communities and school. Repairing 3 boreholes and installing 1 handpump has benefited about 300 households (an estimated population of 1700) with a safe water supply within the community.
As part of the project five Village Water and Sanitation Committees were established and trained in the management and maintenance of the boreholes to ensure they remain working in the future.
