Most of us take it for granted that, with the simple act of turning on a tap, clean, safe water will always be available. Whenever we feel thirsty, or need to bathe, or even water our gardens, it requires little thought or effort. But we are the lucky ones…around half of the world’s population lacks this most basic life necessity.

In the Luangwa Valley, local communities are growing rapidly in size, and the majority of villagers still have no convenient access to safe, clean water.
