Your donation will enable a community in Zambia's wildlife-rich Luangwa Valley to construct a shallow well in their village, bringing safe, clean water to over 200 people. This will both save lives and free up the young girls in the village who walk up to 10km every day to collect water from the river. Freeing them up from this household chore means they can attend school and get an education. And education really is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty they are trapped in.
Lives will be saved from not drinking contaminated water anymore and from crocodile attacks that are common when collecting water in some rivers in Africa. Alongside the provision of clean water, the community will be equipped with practical ways they can reduce conflict with the wild animals they live with, with a knock on positive impact on wildlife conservation in the area.
