The Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee 2022 Report found that Binga district, which receives an erratic annual average rainfall of about 400 millimeters (15.7 inches), has the highest proportion in Zimbabwe of households that drink surface water.Our team began developing the water supply infrastructure of Siangwemu village in Binga district based on the WASH challenges the village faced and the improvements in water yield that the project could bring.When we began work on the project, Siangwemu’s water supply infrastructure was dysfunctional: the village of approximately 750 people relied on old, leaky pipes that were so unsanitary and unreliable that they may as well have had no water infrastructure at all.with Working with the local authority, Binga Rural District Council and District Development Fund, International Medical Corps trained Jack, and provided him with a toolkit, to ensure he could efficiently maintain the water access point for years to come.Community members pay water-use fees to ensure that they can collectively pay for any breakdown, repair or payment to the pump minder, and works together to keep the waterpoint clean."
