Dear Partners and Friends,

We invite you to a powerful and urgent conversation that cannot wait.

The Kafue River — once a source of life, sustenance, and dignity — has been poisoned.
On February 18, 2025, over 50 million liters of toxic mining waste were dumped into Zambia’s Mwambashi river which flows into the Kafue river, contaminating ecosystems, killing aquatic life, and leaving rural communities in crisis.

But the silent victims in this disaster are rural women.

Women who rely on the river to feed their families, farm their land, fetch clean water, and earn a living have been devastated by this atrocity. Their stories are not making headlines—but they are real, raw, and in need of action.

Join us for a webinar hosted by the Rural Women’s Assembly, where we will shed light on this environmental and gender injustice, share testimonies from affected communities, and call for justice and reparations.
