Safe Water Transforms Life in Eswatini

Children in Tsambekwako and Mlindazwe, Eswatini, now have more time for studies and better health, thanks to a new water project that has ended their daily struggle for clean water.

For years, residents of the Gege Area Programme (AP) in the Shiselweni Region relied on a distant, contaminated waterhole. Schoolchildren would return home only to set off again on a two-hour trek to fetch water, leaving little time for homework or rest. The unsafe water also led to frequent illnesses, especially among children.

The Tsambekwako-Mlindazwe Water Project has changed daily life in these communities. With clean water now available nearby, residents no longer worry about long walks or waterborne diseases. Thobile Dlamini, a member of the Tsambekwako-Mlindazwe Water Project Committee, described the difference as life-changing.

@pakunzie Safe water changes lives! World Vision Eswatini’s Mpolonjeni Water Project has increased access to clean water from 3.9% to 100%, reaching 3,320 households across 10 communities. Every child deserves a healthy future! #Eswatini #WorldVision ♬ original sound – pakunzie

“Water was a burden. Our children were always exhausted, and sickness from dirty water was common. Now, they come home from school without worrying about fetching water, and illnesses have decreased,” she said.

During a recent visit by World Bank officials, the impact of the project was evident. The delegation witnessed how easier access to clean water has improved health, hygiene, and education in these remote communities.

Wakhile Mkhonza from the World Bank said engaging with residents helps ensure effective and sustainable interventions.

“Seeing the impact first-hand is invaluable. Speaking to communities helps us better understand their challenges,” he said.
