Another new pump

24th March 2019:

Malivenji is about 15 kilometres from Mzuzu city but no piped water; people still use water from open wells, people were extremely happy to have a pump in the village.  They are poor people and the village has several problems. Water has been the major one but besides water problem they don’t have care-givers in preschools and hunger problem at this time of year. We have discussed doing climate smart agriculture to avoid using chemical fertilizers and  chemical pesticides

Every month we enable about 10,000 of the poorest Malawians to access clean, safe drinking water

Does anyone know or care? , except the 10,000, of course. We get no support from Irish Aid or the likes, but thank God we don't are managing We have amazing donors everywhere, and we don't really spend that much.
We are fully voluntary and have no overheads or expenses. Everyone pays their own expenses so 100% of all donations goes to projects like this.

The World Health Organisation tells us:

In 2015, 71% of the global population (5.2 billion people) used a safely managed drinking-water service – that is, one located on premises, available when needed, and free from contamination.
89% of the global population (6.5 billion people) used at least a basic service. A basic service is an improved drinking-water source within a round trip of 30 minutes to collect water.
844 million people lack even a basic drinking-water service, including 159 million people who are dependent on surface water.
Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces.
Contaminated water can transmit diseases such diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 502 000 diarrhoeal deaths each year.
By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.
In low- and middle-income countries, 38% of health care facilities lack an improved water source, 19% do not have improved sanitation, and 35% lack water and soap for handwashing.
