Chief Katsabola shared that more than 20 people died from waterborne diseases in 2024. Families were visiting the hospital three to four times a week.

“This is the first water well I’ve seen in this village in my entire life,” said 97-year-old Alex Chimbalanga.

Emily Banda expressed her joy at being entrusted with the care of the borehole:
 “God has answered our prayers. We would go days without a bath. Marriages will be strong.”

Villagers now report improved hygiene, stronger family relationships, and more time for business and household chores.
 “We are cleaner now—we can wash our clothes and bathe twice a day.”

This well has brought health, dignity, and hope to Katsabola Village.
