Layisi Village is home to 2,612 people and is remotely located in Mangochi, Malawi. For as long as the community can remember, they have lived without access to clean water. Women and young girls walked kilometers multiple times a day to collect water from a contaminated river. The water source runs dry in the dry season, forcing the community to wait for hours or search for alternative water sources. Women would often dig deep into the river bed to collect the last drops of water attainable. Consuming the water from these contaminated sources caused waterborne illnesses including cholera. With generous support from the Mwendo Group 3, on April 20, 2023, Innovation: Africa installed a solar water pumping system in Layisi Village, significantly improving the lives of the community. Children have returned to school to receive an education. Women are growing gardens, providing food security, and cooking safely. Families are washing their hands, improving general sanitation, and thus becoming healthier. We now see a community developing, growing, and enjoying increased opportunity.

In Malawi’s Zomba district, Enyumwa Village faced a pressing challenge. With a population of 3,792, the community relied on unsafe water sources, compelling women and girls to travel an average of 1 kilometer each day to fetch water. This situation not only exposes them to waterborne diseases but also disabled young girls to attend school on a regular basis, and eventually leaving school for good. However, on November 30th, 2023, a transformative change occurred, courtesy of a generous donation from the This Day Foundation. A solar water pump was installed, now serving the entire population of 3,792 residents by delivering an impressive 33,210 liters of clean water daily through 16 taps, spanning a network of 5,051 kilometers of piping throughout the village. This intervention has had a profound impact, elevating educational opportunities, driving economic growth, and notably enhancing the health of the villagers. Enyumwa Village is now thriving and experiencing substantial growth as a result.

On January 19th, 2024, the installation of a solar water pump in Chilope Village marked the beginning of a new era for its 3,236 residents. This life-changing project, made possible by the generous donation from the Kirsh Foundation, now pumps liters of clean water daily to 16 taps spread over 3,031.4 kilometers of piping throughout the village. The impact has been nothing short of transformative, enhancing education, driving economic growth, and significantly improving the villagers’ health. Before this, the community faced immense challenges in accessing water. The only handpump frequently broke down, and during the dry season, water was scarce. Villagers often had to walk for hours to find another water source. The dirty water they collected was a breeding ground for water-borne illnesses. The combination of disease, the time-consuming search for water, and sheer exhaustion left them with no time, energy, or health to pursue alternative income opportunities, trapping them in a vicious cycle of poverty and disease. With the new solar water pump, the villagers of Chilope no longer struggle for water. Clean water is now readily available, transforming their daily lives. Children can attend school regularly, adults can engage in productive work, and the overall health of the community has improved dramatically. The cycle of poverty is being broken, and the village is now thriving and growing, full of hope and new opportunities for a brighter future.
