Nomthandazo Angy Mngomezulu

Nomthandazo Angy Mngomezulu is an innovator dedicated to addressing water scarcity in her rural village in Mpumalanga, South Africa, where taps often run dry for days. She is developing a solution that combines boreholes, rainwater harvesting systems, and water storage tanks to provide consistent water access. By focusing on this work, she aims to improve health, hygiene, and quality of life while reducing the burden on families who walk long distances for water. This work is deeply personal to her because she grew up experiencing unreliable water access and saw its impact on health, education, and dignity—especially for women and children. With determination and vision, Nomthandazo is paving the way for sustainable solutions that make a real difference.
