Madimba, peri-urban area on edge of Lusaka.
What Water for Kids has achieved
About 7,000 people and a school now have access to safe water. Previously they used contaminated water from shallow wells. Public toilets are available to all.
How we achieved it
We drilled a borehole and built a water tower and kiosk where people can collect water for a minimal fee. Provided a standpipe at the school. Built 2 composting toilets.
This project was managed by our partners The Zambia Institute of Environmental Heath.

Sierra Leone
Water for Kids has worked with two NGOs in Sierra Leone. Firstly WfK contributed £4,000 for a project run by the Makeni Support Trust in 2010 It involved providing safe water to three establishments in the town of Makeni, Sierra Leone. They are St Joseph's School for the Deaf, Holy Spirit Hospital and The University of Makeni. They had no water supply for up to six months of the year, as a result of damage during the war. Secondly in 20010/12 WfK contributed to the installation of a water tank and latrines in two large and busy markets in Bo, the second city of Sierra Leone. The water is used not only by the market traders and their families, but also by hundreds of families living nearby. The work was carried out by One World Link and also funded by the Rotary Clubs of Southam 2000, Royal Leamington Spa and Kenilworth.
