As you know, Malawi has a high rate of pump non functionality, the burden falling upon women and girls who are forced to walk long distances in search of clean water.
To celebrate International Women's Day (8th March) and World Water Day (22nd March), we are running a campaign to raise awareness and funds to empower women to make sustainable change through water. Any donations made to Pump Aid until 31st March will be doubled by our generous sponsors up to a total of £30,000 making your donation worth twice as much to the communities we serve.
With this funding, we could support 30 women's farmers groups with irrigation to improve food security and livelihoods, 3 women entrepreneurs to repair and maintain community water pumps and improve the health and nutritional status of 300 under 5s at 3 CBCCs (preschools) by establishing kitchen gardens for supplementary feeding.
