Village Water
Village Water is a small charity dedicated to improving access to safe water, hygiene, and sanitation for those who most need it. We work with local partners in Mozambique and Zambia by supporting sustainable local solutions to reach everyone, leaving no one behind. To date we’ve reached over 900,000 people.
Integrated approach

Our integrated hygiene and sanitation training with schools and communities alongside bringing safe water supports long-term behaviour change. Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene practices mean improved heath, more chance to work and greater access to education.
Gabriela

Many girls drop out of school once they reach puberty due to the lack of decent and private facilities. Providing year-round safe water, private toilets and showers encourages girls to remain in school and learn. Just £30 could bring safe water and sanitation to 10 more pupils like Gabriela.
Solar powered water systems

With so much free sunshine in countries like Mozambique and Zambia, using solar power is cost effective, environmentally friendly and it works, particularly for schools with a large number of students
