Project description

With the Zimbabwean drinking water sector suffering from serious long-term under-investment, Harare Water is being affected by this serious lack of investment and is now faced with various challenges that include water quantity, water quality, and financial issues. The impact of this WaterWorX program should be that Harare is enabled to provide sustainable water and sanitation services to all of its customers against an improved level of service.
