Working Hand-In-Hand with God's People

“So that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part  suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”
1 Corinthians 12:25-26

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:
