Season’s Greetings from the

Malawi Water Project

Dear Supporter,

As the festive season approaches and we prepare to bid farewell to another year, we are reaching out to share a heartfelt update from the Malawi Water Project. This message carries more than just updates, though; it's a reflection of our journey, gratitude, and aspirations.

Gratitude for Your Unwavering Support

First and foremost, allow us to extend our deepest gratitude for your continued support. Your contributions have been the cornerstone of our endeavors, fueling our mission to bring about sustainable change in Malawi. It's your generosity and belief in our cause that have made our achievements possible.

You may recall, we extended an offer to match donations up to $30,000 until the end of the year, and you have responded with overwhelming generosity. The entire $30,000 has almost been matched — thank you! There’s still time to take advantage of the remaining matching amount until the end of the year.

Reflecting on Our Impact

This year has been a testament to what we can achieve together.

With your help, in 2023 we have:

Installed 192 Biosand Water Filters, bringing clean water to over 1100 individuals. *To date, the project has installed 3800 filters that serve over 29,400 people.

Repaired 35 Boreholes (Water Pumps), ensuring access to clean water for over 17,500 more people.

Witnessed 985 members from 4 communities graduate from our 6-month voluntary Community Health Club (CHC) Program. This initiative empowers communities to improve their health standards independently.

Looking Ahead: Expanding Our Reach

Our journey doesn't stop here. In 2024, we aim to focus on what we started with our CHC program. Our goal is for every community to meet the health and sanitation standards necessary for a healthy life. Imagine a future where each household in the CHC program has access to biosand water filters, latrines, dish drying racks, rubbish pits, handwashing stations, and more, coupled with education on disease prevention, nutrition, and healthy childcare.

A Message of Inclusive Celebration

As we embrace the festive spirit, it's essential to acknowledge and respect the diverse tapestry of cultures, beliefs, and traditions that make up our global family. This season let's celebrate our shared humanity and the joy of coming together for a common purpose. Whether you are lighting a candle, sharing a festive meal, or simply reflecting on the year past, we hope this season brings you peace, joy, and hope.

Special Feature: A Holiday Video Message

To bring our story closer to you, here’s a short video message from our Chairperson, Karen Belanger (Timoffee), offering a glimpse into the heart of our project. We believe this will provide a more personal connection to the work we do and the lives we touch.

Remembering Helen: The Heart of Our Mission

As this year comes to an end, we also pause to remember our late founder, Helen Timoffee, whose vision and passion were the lifeblood of the Malawi Water Project. Helen's spirit remains a beacon of hope and inspiration for all of us. Her dream and dedication continue to guide our steps as we carry forward her legacy of compassion and change.

Continuing the Journey Together

As we look forward to the new year, we are reminded that our work is far from over. We humbly invite you to continue this journey with us. Your support is not just a donation; it's a lifeline to those we serve and a testament to the power of collective action.

We wish you a season filled with warmth, joy, and meaningful connections.

Thank you for being part of our story and for believing in the power of change.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Malawi Water Project
