Community Involvement & Personal Achievements as a Field Officer:
What is the impact of the Shallow Well Program?
  • Water (potable water) is collected within a short walking distance
  • Water borne diseases have been reduced
  • Injuries related to drawing water have been reduced
Why is the Shallow Well Program successful?
  • The program instills the maintenance men/women with skills of building and repairing of the pump.
  • The community is able to organise, participate and maintain the program since they know it is for their own benfit.
What is the Future of the Shallow Well Program and why is your support so important?

The program will help many community members who are still using unpotable water.  There are many Malawians living in rural areas that need good water.
Future needs include:

How you can help:

  • Support a Field Officer: $12,000/year (this includes salary, fuel, food & lodging while working in the rural areas)
