Chizimba, Mzimba
Kindly Donated by Chartwells Through Purchases of Life Water
Here the place is hilly and the wells are too deep. There is no sign of any bore-holes in the area or any ponds that people can get water. Some organisations here have tried to provide help however were unsuccessful because the wells were too deep. Drop4Drop was able to install a pump that could reach into the 21 meter well and supply the community with the clean water they need.
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.
