Mozambique struggles with water access despite abundant natural resources.
Despite having 25 rivers and regular flooding, Mozambique remains among the eight countries worldwide with the worst drinking water supply systems, according to the World Water Council.
Less than 50% of Mozambique’s 31 million inhabitants have access to safe drinking water, forcing many residents to travel long distances or use contaminated sources.
“We wash our clothes and drink the same water because of poverty,” said an elderly woman identified only as Fatima in Govuro district.
