Yesaya Mkandawire, Mzimba District, Malawi

“Despite the poor road conditions leading to the village of Yesaya Mkandawire, we successfully installed the pump for the first time without any difficulties. It was a joyful day for the people, with many singing beautiful songs to express their happiness. The clean water from the new pump will play a crucial role in preventing cholera and other waterborne diseases.

The villagers are hardworking and eager to collaborate with various organisations. However, access to healthcare remains a challenge, as health facilities are located far from the village.”

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.
