The reason we ‘Zoom in on Zambia’ every summer is due to the sheer amount of people with limited access to clean water in the country. Using dirty water leads to poor sanitation and hygiene, and drinking that water can lead to water-borne illnesses such as diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, and more. Nearly 50% of Zambians living in rural areas are without clean water (compared to 1% in the US). Our help is vital as we look to continue our impact in Zambia this year.

But why $40,000? This year's goal is in line with previous campaigns and that amount will cover the cost of 10 new wells in Zambia, impacting about 3,000 people. And in the words of our Zambian partner Shadreck Sibwaalu, there is nearly an "...endless list of villages that need some water." Let’s help him shrink that list!

Thank you in advance for your support during this year's campaign. You are making a difference in the lives of thousands of Zambians in need.
