Project Launch: 10-11-21
Using a $8,938.27 World Connect Investment, Mazozo Community located in the area of Group Village Mateyu Ng'oma, Traditional Authority Mtwalo in Mzimba District of Northern Malawi, will install a solar run submissive pump on an existing borehole. The water will be pumped into a 10,000 liters tank before it is reticulated through pipes to supply the laboratory, girls hostel and the community through centralized kiosks. Two Hundred (200) students in 1,080 households are expected to gain access to clean and safe water from this project . Availability of clean running water will allow more girls to enrol and reside in the hostels hence dedicating more time to their studies, allow proper usage of the laboratory and contribute to reducing incidents of waterborne diseases in the community.
