Programme
We want to give rural Malawians a choice. A choice to invest, to choose their investment and to choose how they use it. Our household pump is a simple rope and washer design with covering, which prevents contamination. These can be installed by our water entrepreneurs at the owners choosing; whether just outside their home, or in a central point in the village.
Solution
This reduces demand and wear on community water points meaning less queues for those who use them, and eliminating the need to queue altogether for the households that own the pump. The investment relieves women and girls of an enormous burden, which means they have more time with family, to go to school and to make a living.
