Water and Sanitation Project

About this Project

The community of Malipa village, using their VDC is working on drilling a borehole, with a joint investment of $7,700.85 with World Connect. This borehole aims to provide a safe and easily accessible water source for the 1038 households in the community, significantly reducing cases of waterborne diseases like cholera and diarrhea. This initiative is crucial for improving public health and ensuring better living conditions for the community. It's a commendable effort that will bring immediate relief by providing a sustainable solution to the long-standing problem of clean water access in Malipa village. 

Malipa Village Development Committee, in collaboration with community members, has successfully provided safe and clean water to the Malipa community members in Traditional Authority Msakambewa. The project, funded through a co-investment of $4,700.85 from Mudzi Connect, has made clean and accessible water available to 683 community members who previously had to walk 5 kilometers to reach the nearest reliable water source. As a result, there has been a significant improvement in public health, with waterborne diseases dropping from 13 recorded cases in 2023 to zero in 2025, a 100% reduction. Esther Mapila, aged 50, shared her experience: "Because our community had limited access to clean and safe water, waterborne diseases were common. Thanks to Mudzi Connect for supporting us with a reliable water source. It has completely eliminated the outbreaks of waterborne diseases in our area, reducing cases from 13 to zero."
