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.

The new infrastructure strengthens access to safe water and sanitation for patients, mothers, children, and health workers.
