Region:

Only 95km from Zimbabwe, Chimoio is a city that is one of the major trade route stops between the coast of Mozambique to Zimbabwe. This route is believed to be one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS in the continent of Africa.

Local Water Situation:

In the urban areas, water is accessed from the local water municipality. As you travel just outside into the peri-urban and rural areas, water is accessed from rivers and wells, and most sources are contaminated.
