Good Water Project

In a remote community in Urrene, Mozambique, school students have to walk long distances to fetch water from unprotected wells, putting themselves at risk of waterborne diseases. In collaboration with our Good Neighbours office in Mozambique, Good Neighbours Australia is aiming to complete a number of life-sustaining water projects.

Thanks to our donors and partners in Australia, we were able to fund the development of three boreholes with hand pumps to support around 1,425 children and their families in the local community in 2021 and 2022. Now with the availability of water, the latest project also inspired the school principal to establish a garden project, grow nutritious food and provide ongoing learning opportunities for the students. Moreover,  a WASH Committee consisting of five community members was also established, training them in routine maintenance and ongoing management of the bore sites and pumps. Through these projects, the whole community has become aware of managing their water resources, even more important as they face the increasing impacts of climate change.

Help us continue transforming lives with water by supporting future projects. After all, that’s what good neighbours are for.
