Dear Supporters
I have received a complete report from the Malawi office detailing the work that has been carried with your donations.
5 Elephant pumps have been installed in the Mtwalo district. Boma is one of the villages that received an Elephant Pump as well as Elephant Toilets and a nutrition garden. Thomu is the village head and member of the Water Point Commmitte. You can see a photo of him receiving pump maintenance training. Thomu is pleased that his community will benefit for the clean water source, especially with the rainy season coming soon. This will mean everyone will have a safe clean source of water and prevent any rise in disease during the season.
Further updates to come on the remaining work.

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.
