The above pictures show general living conditions in a Chimteka village.
All 1239 households in Chimteka use firewood as their source of energy. None have access to charcoal, parafin, electricity, gas or other sources of energy.
There is great poverty but a lot of progress is being made in the living conditions; ecological stoves and and lighting are much needed in the households and are on the projects list of CCS.
The government has brought electricity to within 2 kms of Chimteka. CCS is planning to bring electricity the remainder of the way to the major buildings in Chimteka. Solar energy is effective for use in the community hall.
The first borehole was built by UNICEF. By 2009, CCS had built another 14 boreholes and repaired 3. In 2011, 18 boreholes had been built providing clean water at short distances to all the 21 villages.
