Women and Water: Addressing the Crisis Through Empowerment and Innovation - Celebrate women's month with Nakiso Borehole Drilling

March is the month when the world celebrates the incredible achievements of women throughout history and across different cultures. It's a time to honor their resilience, strength, and perseverance in the face of adversity. And this year, as we mark International Women's Day on March 8th, we cannot ignore the fact that millions of women worldwide still lack access to one of the most basic necessities of life – clean water.


According to the United Nations, over two billion people worldwide live in areas where water scarcity is a daily reality. And women and girls are disproportionately affected by this crisis. They are often responsible for collecting water for their families, which can take up to six hours a day in some areas. This means they have less time for education, work, or other activities that could improve their lives and the lives of their communities.

Moreover, the lack of clean water and sanitation puts women and girls at risk of disease, sexual violence, and other forms of abuse. They may have to travel long distances to fetch water, which exposes them to danger, especially at night. They may also have to use unsafe water sources, such as rivers, ponds, or open wells, which can lead to waterborne illnesses such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea.

This is where Nakiso Borehole Drilling can make a difference. As a company that specializes in providing sustainable water solutions, Nakiso Borehole Drilling can help communities, especially women and girls, access clean and safe water sources. By drilling boreholes, installing pumps, and setting up water treatment systems, Nakiso Borehole Drilling can empower women and girls to lead healthier, more productive, and more fulfilling lives.

Investing in water infrastructure can help women and girls break the cycle of poverty and achieve their full potential. When they have access to clean water, they can stay in school, pursue their careers, and contribute to their communities development. They can also become agents of change and advocates for water conservation and sustainability.

So this Women's Month, let's celebrate the resilience and strength of women around the world and let's commit to supporting them in their fight for clean and safe water. Let's work together to build a world where no woman or girl has to walk for hours to fetch water or worry about falling sick from drinking contaminated water. Let's make water a source of empowerment, not inequality. And let's do it with Nakiso Borehole Drilling as our partner.

Fact 1: Know Your Borehole Casings

The Preferred Borehole Casing In Zimbabwe Is Class 9 and 10 (Pressure Classes.)

This is because Class 9 and Class 10 Casings are more collapse resistant. The strength of a Casing is often described as collapse resistance.

Fact 2: Borehole Drilling Depth

The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).

Fact 3: There Is No 100% Guarantee

It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.

Fact 4: Siting Is Important
Fact 5: Know The Risks
