While other provinces are better off, almost none have access to water after they use a toilet. According to the report, only 6% of households have hand washing stations.When the rainy season – which is frequently marked by flooding – came to an end, waterborne illnesses spiked in Zimbabwe due to a lack of clean water in townships and corroded water lines.
