The Breaking Point
March 2024
After 96 hours without water in Chitungwiza, a group of women decided enough was enough. Standing in endless queues at 4 AM, watching children miss school to fetch water, we realized that our silence was our enemy's greatest weapon.
First Gathering
April 2024
What started as informal conversations by the water pump grew into our first official meeting. Twelve women gathered in Grace Mutasa's backyard, sharing stories, frustrations, and dreams of a Zimbabwe where water flows freely for all.
Going Public
June 2024
Our first peaceful demonstration drew 200 women carrying empty buckets to the municipal offices. The image of empty buckets lined up in protest became our symbol. Local media took notice, and our movement began to grow.
Building Networks
September 2024
Women from Harare, Bulawayo, and rural communities began reaching out. We realized this wasn't just a Chitungwiza problem—it was a national crisis requiring a national response. Women4Water was officially born.
Today & Tomorrow
2025 & Beyond
With over 5,000 active members across Zimbabwe, we continue to grow stronger every day. Our fight is far from over, but every voice that joins us brings us closer to victory. The water will flow, because we will never stop fighting.
