There is a broken well from 5 years ago
Eliza Mtambalika “This is safe water. We were using a shallow well. When women are tired, we can send our kids. We can come at night if we want. I can get 5 buckets now; I used to get 2 or 3 buckets. It took 4 hours to get one buckets because the lines were so long. We can eat on time. Our clothes are cleaner. We can bathe whenever we want. We are living a healthy life. No more waterborne sickness. Each family saves 5-10,000 kwacha a month. “
