Help Malawi communities get water and sanitation
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesPump Aid works with rural communities in Malawi. Malawi is among the world’s poorest countries ranked in the bottom 10% in the Human Development Index. An ongoing national water point mapping project, indicates that only 57% of the rural population have access to safe water, for sanitation it is as low as 15%. As a result water-related diseases, including cholera and typhoid, are common. ActivitiesAt Pump Aid we believe that an integrated approach to the provision of water, sanitation and nutrition is vital if health benefits are to be maximised.

Latest Update from the FieldCompleted project - 5 poor rural communities benefitBy Marianne Rowley - Fundraising Assistant, September 09, 2009 02:20 PM
   Dear Supporters
Many thanks for your generous support that has helped Pump Aid to reach 5 poor rural communities in Mzimba, Malawi. That is over 1250 people having gained access to safe drinking water with an Elephant pump, adequate sanitation with the Elephant toilet and improved health through planting of nutrition gardens. This integrated approach will ensure the maximum benefits are reaped by these communities. Your support has helped people like Constance, who use to walk over 5 miles to the nearest source of water, where she would often wait up to 2 hours in line to get her bucket filled. Now it takes her a few minutes to walk to the Elephant pump that is near her home, where she can go as many times a day to fetch water and the best bit is there is no queue! Many thanks again for you support.
