| dc.description.abstract | Access to affordable water and acceptable sanitation is critical to the health well-being of Zambians. Many people do not have access to clean water for the basic purposes of health and sanitation. In early January, the Lusaka Water and Sewage Company (LWSC) admitted that some parts of the city were found to have a contaminated water supply. This lack of access to safe water is directly linked to progression of health issues and diseases, such as cholera and diarrhoea. Limits to access are also contrary to the basic economic, social and cultural rights of citizenship of all Zambians. | en |
