MALAWI
In Malawi, we completed borehole wells, shallow water wells, and well rehabilitation, 26 up to this point. These sites were selected in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Water Development, Ministry of Environment, and Ministry of Forestry. The sites were verified to ensure there would be no significant negative environmental impacts. Communities were also selected based on the health of the community and verified by local Health Surveillance Assistants indicating urgency and need for clean, safe water.
Local builders were employed and assisted by laborers from the community. These sites for shallow water wells included the lining of the well with burnt bricks and mortar to eliminate the chance of collapse and the foundation and cap for the pump installation. The well rehabilitation included replacing pumps, redrilling portions, fixing the water chase or adding as needed and any other repair to get the well up and running. The borehole well was completed like most in Malawi with a machine driven drill.
