🌧️ A New Chapter of Hope: Chapedo Dam in Bikita Ward 5 🌊

Yesterday’s good rains brought life to the newly constructed Chapedo Dam in Makuvaza, Bikita Ward 5. Built through the partnership of Christian Care and the Government of Zimbabwe, with support from Act for Peace (AFP) and The Charitable Foundation (TCF), the dam now stands at 50% full. This milestone brings a sense of relief and excitement to the local community, marking a significant step toward improved water access.

With this harvested water, families can now provide for livestock, nurture nutrition gardens, and meet everyday household needs such as washing and brick molding. This morning, many gathered at the dam, celebrating the first major water collection—a sign of hope and resilience for the whole community.
