— The German government has initiated a project to drill 400 boreholes
in 350 communities in Zambia to help
overcome the challenge of providing
safe drinking water in rural areas.
The Rural Water Supply and
Sanitation project in Kasempa,
800 kilometers northwest of Lusaka, will cost Germany more
than $200 million USD.
German Ambassador to Zambia
Irene Henrichsen said the Zambian
government was still faced with a
challenge of providing safe drinking
water both in rural and urban areas.
Through the project, rural communities in Kasempa, Mufumbwe and
Kabompo districts will have access
to safe drinking water and protection
from waterborne diseases such
diarrhea, cholera and dysentery...
