BASELINE SITUATION: JOHN LAING DISTRICT
Difficult Terrain
John Laing is located in the city centre of Lusaka, directly next to the WfW project area Misisi. John Laing is also located on solid stone, which makes the expansion of the pipeline network technically demanding.
Water Supply
The existing network included 15 open and 34 closed kiosks and was connected to the main urban water supply. The water infrastructure was overstrained with the increasing demand of individual households for safe and clean water. Several hundred cases of cholera were reported in the rainy season from December 2015 to March 2016 alone.

150,000 residents
50% without safe access to drinking water
PROJECT GOALS
1
financing the construction of 10.5 km of pipeline network and 10 water kiosks
2
the Revolving Fund enables 1,000 household connections
3
providing safe, clean and affordable access to water to 65,000 people
MEASURES
In cooperation with the local partner organisations WSUP and LWSC, the pipeline network has been extended by 10.5 km and 10 new kiosks have been built. These measures provide 15,000 people with access to clean water. In a next step, water pipes were drawn directly to over 450 houses for the first time, which improves the water supply of additionally 7,000 people.
IMPACT
This extension of the water supply network as well as the kick-off funding for a social payment plan for household connections considerably improves safe and affordable water access for residents in John Laing. Moreover, as household connection sign-ups continue to grow, this water supply system will become financially sustainable.

Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP)
WSUP is a British multi-sector partnership active in seven African countries. WSUP's aim is to work with urban water and sanitation companies to provide financially sustainable and affordable supply systems for poor urban areas. WfW works directly with WSUP Zambia. WSUP assumes the role of intermediary organisation between WfW and LWSC on the one hand and the monitoring and controlling of the projects on the other. In addition, WSUP is involved in the design and coordination of projects financed by WfW.
