In Linda, a growing peri-urban area of Lusaka, Zambia, a new solar-powered water supply system is ensuring more reliable water supply – a crucial development in a region struggling with water scarcity and frequent power outages.
"Lusaka has been experiencing almost daily power outages for months. This poses major challenges for our water supply," explains WfW Program Director Kameya Kashweka. The solution developed by the local team: A 130-meter deep borehole combined with a solar-powered pumping system that operates independently from the city's power grid.

What began a decade ago in Linda with the first water kiosks has evolved into a self-sustaining water system. This additional water source further enhances supply security – fully aligned with our approach of building sustainable structures that can continue to operate independently and long-term within local, professional networks.
"This development in Linda consistently follows our guiding principles: The focus is not on short-term technical solutions, but on the systematic development of local structures and competences. In the development in Linda, from the first water kiosks and the establishment of management structures through the Delegated Management Model to the solar-powered water supply system, we are pursuing an integrated approach that combines the technical solution with long-term economic viability and ecological responsibility. The multiplication of income through this overall system and the growing number of house connections prove that the people in Linda value this supply and help to shape it - that is the real indicator of success for us."
