1 Day,
5 Families,
Forever Changed.
This Giving Tuesday
Help bring NUMA safe water to 5 of the 1,000 families who have invested with their deposits and are waiting for safe water connections at their homes.
End the Wait for these 5 Families
For Giving Tuesday, we want to end the wait for 5 families. These are the real people who have signed up or have paid their deposit for safe water piped to their homes with NUMA Now. Read their stories and contribute towards the $350 to bring safe water to a family's home, forever.
Dickson Chama
Dickson Chama has lived in the village of Chitundwa, Zambia for over 20 years. Every day his family gathers water from an unprotected well, knowing that the water isn't very safe. He plans to use this water at home, as well as to create a garden to create additional income through selling crops. NUMA will improve his family's health, helping them avoid waterborne diseases that commonly afflict them. In addition, NUMA will ensure they don't lack water during the dry season when the unprotected wells often dry up.
Sponsor DicksonMervis Mwami
Mervis Mwami lives in Mwansakombe, Zambia where she draws water daily from an unprotected, uncovered well. The water is inevitably not safe and it takes her an hour each day to fetch it. The effort is exhausting and time consuming which led to her placing a deposit for a NUMA Now home connection. Once safe water is available at her home, she plans to use it to drink, cook, bathe, do laundry, expand her garden, rear ducks, chickens, and goats, and even for building bricks to expand her home. These activities will improve her family's life by removing the threat of waterborne disease and increasing their food production and income through a healthier garden.
Sponsor MervisEvans Mwange
Evans Mwange has lived in his village of Mungulube, Zambia for 3 years now. He currently gathers water from an unprotected well using a bucket and rope. This is a time-consuming process and the water isn't safe. He plans to use NUMA Now to drink at home, washing, bathing, and creating a garden for his family's use. In using safe water, he knows that he'll reduce exposure to waterborne diseases and his family will live healthier lives.
Sponsor EvansNyirongo Mbamwabi
Nyirongo Mbamwabi lives in the village of Mundubi, Zambia. Every day he draws water from an unprotected well. The water isn't safe, and he pays for its upkeep with monthly maintenance, buying new rope and buckets when damaged, and paying to drill the well deeper during the dry season. With NUMA Now at his home, Nyirongo will be able to use the water for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing, as well as for his brick building business. He'll use NUMA water to construct and mold bricks to sell and build his new home. With safe water right at his doorstep he'll save countless hours fetching water and have a reliable resource to expand his business off of.

Mable has lived in the community of Yamba since birth. Every day she draws water from a nearby well. The water is not safe, and takes her an hour to gather every trip.
