Community Pump Repairs

Malawi’s water crisis persists despite the abundance of groundwater reserves. Recognising the limitations of installing new community water pumps as a temporary solution, Pump Aid is committed to a more sustainable solution.

Our team identifies non functional water pumps and uses our network of skilled water entrepreneurs to repair and regularly maintain them, ensuring their long-term functionality for the communities they serve. By restoring these investments, we not only address the immediate water needs but also create livelihood opportunities for mechanics who can earn a living through pump repairs and establish service contracts with local authorities. Through our efforts, we strive to provide lasting solutions that empower communities and foster self-reliance in overcoming the water crisis in Malawi.

“We would sometimes go to open streams in search of water for our daily activities such as drinking and cooking. Now we are dancing to a new song and drinking safe and clean water unlike before” Florence Joe, resident of Totomoyo village, after their broken pump was fully repaired
