Families: 96
Water committee: 4 men and 6 women

“This is the first water is this area. We used to have to go all the way to the roadside and cross it to get water. At first, we didn’t believe (in regard to the WWFA water well). Now, we believe.”

Everyone has their own gardens. There is a famine going on until March, so the water is helping them with food growth.

Almost all will mold bricks for housing and to sell as a business. There is a famine in Malawi right now. The water well helps us grow maize off season and pumpkin leaves and mustard.

Men were complaining because the women were gone so long and went so far. There was a cholera problem here, but not anymore. Now they are bathing more. They wear clean clothes. Hygiene is better.

Before the water well, 50 % of our children went to school. Now it is 100%. Since this water well, the future is brighter. The major obstacle was water. The lack of water access is the obstacle to everything.
