The water crisis in Chitungwiza has reached a breaking point. Every day, women and children wake up before dawn to queue for hours at the few functioning water points in our community. This is not just an inconvenience—it is a violation of our basic human right to clean, accessible water.
Our movement, Women4Water, was born from the frustration and determination of mothers, daughters, and sisters who refuse to accept this as our reality. We have seen how the burden of water collection falls disproportionately on women and girls, forcing many to miss school or work opportunities.
We demand immediate action from our local authorities. We demand transparency in water management. We demand investment in sustainable water infrastructure. Most importantly, we demand recognition that access to water is not a privilege—it is a right.
Join us in this fight. Our voices together are stronger than any obstacle we face.
