Vakaza Village, Mzimba District, Malawi

“It was a great day for the people of Vazaka as we installed a pump in their village, marking the first time they would have access to safe and clean water. Previously, women had to walk long distances to fetch water from open wells, and water-borne diseases were common due to the consumption of unsafe water. The villagers are happy that these challenges are now a thing of the past. They expressed their excitement through celebratory songs and traditional dances, showing their gratitude to Drop4Drop and Coastal & ESS for this life-changing support.

The community consists mainly of small-scale farmers who grow beans and maize for food.”

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.
