Water at last! ZimFund brings relief to Dangamvura residents after 22 years of dry taps
Elison Basopo, a lecturer, is a resident of Dangamvura high density suburb in Mutare, a city in eastern Zimbabwe’s Manicaland province. A senior citizen, he has lived there for 37 years. For the first 15 years, he and his family enjoyed access to a daily water supply. This changed in 2000, as rapid population growth in Dangamvura and too little investment in water infrastructure contributed to the water problems. A fix was identified—the upgrade of a 10km water pipeline to carry more water—but funding shortfalls prevent it being carried out.,
