World Water Day is a moment to celebrate the precious resource of water and to support communities around the world facing water scarcity. Help us make a life-changing difference for communities in the Luangwa Valley region of Zambia.
Donate through the end of March to double your impact. Through the generous support of the AJA Foundation, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000.
Our goal for 2026 is to drill 60 boreholes (each costing $6,500 to complete). On behalf of the Zambian communities we serve and everyone at Makolekole, thank you for your generous support in bringing clean, safe water to remote areas of the Luangwa Valley. Your generosity is making a lasting difference for families who have long lacked reliable access to safe water.
With your support, Makolekole drilled 400 boreholes between 2015 and 2025, providing more than 85,000 people with access to clean water close to home. We have also trained and equipped 33 Area Pump Menders, helping ensure the long-term sustainability of these wells.
By 2029, we aim to drill 250 additional boreholes and train at least 60 more Area Pump Menders. Access to clean water is improving health, reducing risks from wildlife encounters, and freeing women and girls from hours of daily water collection.
Mandzi ndi moyo — Water is Life.
