Piped water transforms Matobwe village in Mansa District

Matobwe village in Mansa District of Luapula Province has been transformed after piped 💧water reached its community for the very first time. Its over 3,000 citizens now have access to safe water supply.
This was achieved through the 🇪🇺EU and 🇩🇪Germany funded Nexus Energy and Water Programme for Zambia (NEWZA) and the Just and Climate-Resilient Urbanization and Decentralization in Zambia Programme (CitiZen+D), working in collaboration with Luapula Water Supply and Sanitation Company Limited (LpWSC), towards the construction of a water supply network.
The strong collaboration also involved the community who were also involved in excavation works. Together, these partners invested in constructing a reliable water supply network and directly connected individual households in the village.
The new water supply network does not only deliver clean and safe water directly to the households, but has also improved daily life, reducing the burden of water collection and supporting better health and hygiene for the entire community, while contributing to Zambia’s progress towards universal access to water services.
