This project will provide chlorine to 500 vulnerable families in Katete District who depend on unsafe well water for daily use. By treating drinking water at home, families can prevent diarrhea and other waterborne diseases. This support will protect children's health, improve hygiene, and help parents save money on medical costs while building safer, healthier communities.
In Katete District, over 500 families rely on untreated well water for daily use. These wells are often unsafe and become more contaminated during rainy seasons. As a result, children and adults frequently suffer from diarrhea and other preventable illnesses. Families lose income to medical costs, children miss school, and caregivers struggle to work. Without affordable water treatment, this cycle of sickness continues, keeping households vulnerable and limiting community growth.
