      RowZambezi 2018 is a group of international rowers who are exploring 900 km of the Kafue river and Kafue Flats in Zambia in July 2018. We are not only raising awareness of the critical issues that the Zambezi River Basin, and its tributary, the Kafue river, are facing; we are also raising money to support WWF and World Rowing build a water research and rowing centre on the Kafue river. This will become an important source of environmental data, as well as an opportunity for more rowers to enjoy this extraordinary and beautiful place. We will carry out water quality testing during our exploration, and make targeted observations on areas of interest e.g. animal population density, and numbers of fishing villages. We also support water based charities, such as Village Water, who are installing wells in the Zambezi River Basin area.
