Episode notes

Despite being surrounded by rivers, communities in the Zambezi region face severe water shortages due to broken boreholes, stolen equipment, and high electricity costs. Community activist Dobson Kwala says villagers are forced to walk long distances or rely on unsafe wells, and urges government to provide free water to rural households while stepping up maintenance and education campaigns.
