Kazalo Village, Mzimba District, Malawi
Kindly Donated by Levy UK Through Purchases of Life Water
“It was a wonderful day for the villagers of Kazalo as they gathered to witness the pump installation process. Many villagers were present and expressed their happiness for what Wells for Zoë has done to improve their lives. For more than 36 years, these villagers lacked access to safe and clean water, relying instead on rivers contaminated by waste from factories. This exposed them to waterborne diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea. Now, they are excited because they will no longer have to suffer from these diseases. Several people in this village are poor, with many living in grass-thatched houses. There are no preschools in the area, and many children are forced to stop their education at the primary level due to their parents’ inability to afford school fees for secondary education.”

This project was undertaken as part of our campaign of projects that actively reduce carbon emissions. This project helped the community save their much needed wood which was previously being burnt daily to boil water. This project has also eliminated the many thousands of hours previously spent on walking to collect water.
