Chombe Village, Mzimba District, Malawi

“Many villagers eagerly awaited our arrival in Chombe, showing their excitement and happiness. They had long wished for access to clean and safe water but had never received any assistance until now. The village chief expressed gratitude to The Brit Awards for providing this much-needed support. In many homes, only women and children remain, as most men have gone to South Africa in search of better opportunities. The villagers grow a variety of crops, especially maize, soya beans and sweet potatoes, which form the mainstay of their livelihoods.”

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.
