Chimtho Village, Kasungu Village, Malawi
Kindly Donated by ESS Through Purchases of Life Water
“It was a truly wonderful day for the villagers of Chimtho as they witnessed the installation of the pump. Many gathered to celebrate and express their joy for the positive impact the team has brought to their lives. For years, the community lacked access to safe and clean water, relying on rivers often contaminated with various wastes. This had led to frequent cases of waterborne diseases such as cholera and diarrhoea. The villagers are now excited and relieved, knowing that such suffering will be a thing of the past. Many people in the village live in poverty, with a significant number residing in grass-thatched houses.”

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.
