The rainy season finished in Malawi a little later than usual at the end of April. A result of the prolonged rain for Pump Aid's pump builders is that water retention and filtration in wells was very high, which increased the number of days it took to prepare a well from 3 to 4/5 days per team.
Since May Pump Aid has been carrying out pre-water quality testing and has held a District Executive Committee meeting to brief district stakeholders on the project to build Elephant Pumps in Kasungu. Community mobilisation meetings have also been held as well as well preparation and pump installation activities.
So far, 15 Elephant Pumps have been installed in Kasungu, 20 wells have been upgraded and are ready for a pump to be installed and 71 water sites have been identified and verified.
Our work in Kasungu is ongoing as we continue to deliver clean and safe water to rural communities.
