Living without water


Imagine living without running water, having to skip morning shower, not flushing the toilet, brushing your teeth, making coffee, cleaning clothes and dishes.
Such has become the daily reality for many families as water shortages have hit suburbs of Harare.

Desperate situation call for desperate measure- Some people have resorted to fetching water from unsafe open sources making them prone to waterborne diseases.
Clean water flowing in the city center
Whilst taps are dry and residents are exposed to unclean water. Clean water is flowing in the city center and council is doing nothing to preserve the precious liquid.

Drainage pipe 
Now that the rain season is close by,  drainage pipes have not been cleaned. The drain will get overflowed and its filthy water will spread across the city which is not healthy. 

Potholes being used as dumping sites
While repairing damaged pipes the council takes long to complete repairing. As a result pedestrians end up using the hole as dumping sites.
