New projects in Zambia
A new Water for Kids project in Zambia was selected in October 2007,
the Zambian Institute of Environmental Health is now carrying out feasibility
studies on the:
CHIPAPA CLINIC
Chipapa Clinic is a busy place with a maternity clinic, under fives clinic
and an out-patients clinic. The clinic has NO WATER,
staff have to queue at a near by borehole to collect water. A community
of 10,756 people use the clinic and the top five diseases treated there
are: malaria, diarrhoea, eye infections, sexually transmitted diseases
and respiratory infections.
Water for Kids plans to provide a borehole, a pump and a tank, which will
allow for water distribution into the clinic and staff houses nearby.
