In Shiloto Village in Chongwe District near Lusaka, Zambia, access to clean water is still a daily struggle.

For many families, especially elderly people, pregnant women, and children, getting water means walking more than 5 kilometres every day just to collect water for drinking, cooking, and washing.

Imagine carrying heavy containers under the hot African sun simply to bring water home for your family.

This is the reality for the people of Shiloto Village.

Because the few boreholes available are located far from the village, many vulnerable people struggle to reach them. Some elderly residents and pregnant mothers are forced to depend on others to help them fetch water.

Without reliable water access, children miss school, families struggle with hygiene, and the community faces serious health risks.

But together, we can change this story.

Nchito Community Initiative, a registered community organisation based in Lusaka, has been actively working with the people of Shiloto Village to improve lives and restore hope.

Through our work we have already:

• Fed over 200 community members during outreach programs

• Organised football and netball tournaments to empower youth

• Conducted community support activities to bring people together

We even documented our work to ensure transparency and accountability in everything we do.

However, the need remains urgent.

Our goal is to raise funds to help the community build 1–2 boreholes, install solar-powered water systems, and establish a community chicken run project that will allow villagers to generate income and become self-sustaining.

Clean water will mean:

• Women and children no longer walking 5 km for water

• Improved health and sanitation

• Children spending more time in school

• A stronger and more sustainable community

The chicken project will help families earn income by raising chickens and selling eggs and poultry, creating a path toward long-term independence for the community.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help transform lives in Shiloto Village.

Your support will help provide clean water, dignity, and opportunity to people who urgently need it.

If you cannot donate today, please share this campaign so others can help.

Together, we can bring hope and lasting change to the people of Shiloto Village.
