Safe water and hygiene for 'Village Water'- projects in Zambia and Mozambique.

An enthusiastic and informative talk by Beth, who had travelled from Shrewsbury to talk about the success of this very worthwhile programme, which has helped save over 16,000 lives in their local communities.
Initiated by David Dixon in 2004, the work to establish new water facilities for drinking, washing, sanitation, personal hygiene and training to help raise the welfare of the people in their villages.
14 teams of helpers have been trained to drill wells and set up water pumps to hugely improve local lives.
Data collection has demonstrated that there has been over 80% reduction in diarrhoea and eye infections and encouraging a growth in well being and education through improved health regimes.
