Bringing Clean, Accessible Water To Malawi

Deducible
This is a story of how one water well is changing a village in Malawi and helping a young girl named Ruthnut achieve her dream.

—————————————————

Water Wells for Africa (WWFA) is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that has been installing water wells since 1996. To date, they have installed over 300 wells and have effectively brought clean, accessible water to over 250,000+ people in Malawi. Each water well costs an average of $8,000 to install and can last over two decades, serving thousands of people over its lifetime.
 
WWFA’s mission is to promote rural African community development by providing sustainable water sources and reducing health risks associated with contaminated water. To support this mission, WWFA focuses on two central priorities: (1) employing local staff and drilling crews in Malawi, and (2) partnering with local leaders to enable sustainable development in their villages.
 
Villagers are much more comfortable working alongside someone from the same region, someone who truly understands them and also speaks the same language. Rather than bringing in its own trucks, workers, and equipment, WWFA makes it a priority to hire locals, investing money into Malawi’s local economy and helping to break cycles of poverty in the country.
 
Once a water well is assembled, a water committee made up of local villagers receives the training and tools needed to maintain and care for the water well. This enables Malawians to become self-sustaining, taking ownership and responsibility over a central part of their livelihood.
