Zimbabwe’s iconic national parks are found in semi-arid areas with extremely hot temperatures in the dry season. Nothing is more important to wildlife than abundant and clean water. In all our parks, our rangers have three primary goals; to identify areas in need of artificial water supply, installing and maintaining water equipment, and keeping it safe from vandalism or destruction.

Most of our water pumps are diesel-run, but we have already begun the transition towards green energy with investments in solar-powered pumps. To maintain this momentum, more solar pumps are needed, more boreholes need drilling.
