In the rural communities of Kapiri Mposhi, access to clean water and quality maternal health services has long been a daily struggle. For expectant mothers, health workers, learners, and families, limited Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure meant long walks to unsafe water sources, heightened risks of infection, and added pressure on already stretched health facilities.

Our presence in Somalia since 1993 has enabled us to establish and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders in the WASH sector. This includes the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MoEWR), a crucial partner, as well as other line ministries at federal, regional and state levels, the private sector, local partners, the Somalia WASH Cluster, UN agencies, and community actors.

For years, life in one community within World Vision Zambia’s Chipili Area Programme was defined by scarcity, exhaustion, and illness. Access to safe water was a daily struggle. Children and families walked kilometres upon kilometres to the nearest water sources, often shallow wells or streams shared by long queues of community members. The consequences were severe: frequent water‑borne diseases, missed school days, fatigue, and declining academic performance.

Access to clean water and safe sanitation through World Vision’s WASH program transformed Senate’s health, safety, and everyday wellbeing.

In Nabori and Yipala, a World Vision US‑supported mechanised water system transformed life by uniting Muslim and Christian communities. Once divided by faith, families now share clean water, build trust, and collaborate for a better future,showing how water can break barriers and create peace.

For decades, the children and families of Jang—a farming community in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region—struggled with limited access to clean water, relying on unsafe sources that exposed them to waterborne diseases and daily hardship. Change came when World Vision Ghana and partner GIZ provided a solar-powered mechanised water system.
