The well that changed Chilumba

The well that changed Chilumba

Before March, Chikondi walked to the river twice a day. It took her three hours and she was often late for school, or did not go at all.

Drilling day

The whole village came out to watch the rig. When water came up at 42 metres, people danced in the mud.

Now I fetch water in ten minutes and I am the first one in class.

Keeping it running

A village committee of five, three of them women, collects a small monthly fee and has been trained to fix the pump themselves.
