The World Forgotten Children Foundation (WFCF) is excited to announce its latest funded project, aimed at combating the devastating effects of the ongoing drought in Zambia. In collaboration with the Kocebuka Community Foundation (KCF), WFCF will fund $10,350.93 toward the Zambia Well Project, a transformative effort to provide clean water and enhance the resilience of a vulnerable community.
The Challenge: A Nation in Crisis
Zambia is currently experiencing the worst drought in its recorded history, significantly attributed to the increasing impact of climate change. According to the Zambian government, over 9.8 million people have been affected, with 6.6 million requiring urgent humanitarian assistance. This environmental crisis has led to severe shortages of water, food, and energy, leaving many families without access to basic needs for survival.
KCF, a Zambian NGO dedicated to inclusive development, has partnered with WFCF to address these critical challenges. Together, we aim to ensure that no community is left behind.
The Zambia Well Project: A Solution in Three Phases
The Zambia Well Project will focus on providing clean, sustainable water sources to the rural community in the Zimba District. The project comprises three phases:
- Drilling: Identifying optimal location and creating access to underground water resources.
- Equipment & Installation: Installing a solar-powered system to ensure continuous and eco-friendly water availability.
- Fencing & Seeding: Securing the well area and initiating crop planting to promote food security.
This project will significantly contribute to providing safe drinking water, improving sanitation, and supporting agriculture in the region.
Building on Past Success
This is not WFCF’s first collaboration with KCF. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we supported the organization in its efforts to safeguard rural communities in Zambia, in the fight against COVID-19 by providing essential supplies and medical information. The success of this partnership laid the foundation for our renewed commitment in our partnership with KCF to aiding the Zambian community.
