A group of kids in Twapia, another peri-urban community in Ndola, Zambia. They were gathered around a pump that had just been installed on a new borehole. This is 1 of 17 wells, and while a well with a hand pump can technically provide water for a couple thousand people, long lines and wear and tear on the pump dictate a functional maximum of 750 to 1000 people per well. With 65,000 people living in Twapia, there’s a lot that still needs to be done.
