Mpeni Village, Mzimba District, Malawi

“The pump installation was well done. Though the villagers were busy in their fields caring for their crops, others managed to come to the well to learn how best they can use their pump. People in the village are very happy to have a pump in a village for the first time. They have been using dirty water ever since and this has caused the people of this village to be suffering from water borne diseases on a yearly basis. People of this village are very poor; mostly crops grown in this village are tobacco, maize, soya beans and sweet potatoes.”

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.
