THE establishment of a solar-powered piped water scheme in Mtshabezi Village,Gwanda District,has significantly improved the lives of 500 homesteads by providing access to clean water.
Before this development.community members relied on unhygienic water from the Mtshabezi River.which posed severe health risks.
This piped water scheme is part of the Enhanced Resilience for Vulnerable Households in Zimbabwe (ERVHIZ) programme,aimed at improving water access in rural communities across Matabeleland South.
It was implemented by Welt Hunger Hilfe (WHH) working with the Water and Sanitation Hygiene (Wash) structures at provincial, district, ward and village level.
The project features a 3km water pipeline with taps installed along the route, ensuring that water is more accessible to the villagers. The community played a crucial role by contributing labour towards the project’s completion.
