Abstract
The success of the Safe Water System pioneered by households in Zambia’s capital city, Lusaka shows how the developed world can work with local authorities in the developing world where resources are available to create better living conditions for the local populace. Women and children bear the economic brunt of shortages arising from lack of clean water as many among them have to spend hours together to collect water, and it is imperative that diverse partnerships between developed and developing countries deliver results.
