WFP launches water project in Zvishavane

For nearly two and half decades, Matenda Primary school in Zvishavane district in the Midlands Province has been facing acute water shortages.

The problems started after drought hit the country in 1992 and Zvishavane, being arid, was among the worst affected.

Bathing and laundry became a luxury as the little water available was prioritised for cooking and drinking.
