TO PROVIDE WATER AND SANITATION TO THE PEOPLE OF MALAWI.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
WASH IN VILLAGES: MOST OF ORGANIZATION'S PROJECTS ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE RURAL AREAS OF MALAWI, IN COMMUNITIES WHERE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, SAFE SANITATION, AND HYGIENE INFORMATION IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. THIS YEAR, THROUGH DEEP BOREHOLE DRILLING, AND THE INSTALLATION OF PIPES AND HANDPUMPS, SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE CLEAN WATER SOURCES ARE NOW IN VILLAGES IN TWO NEW VILLAGES IN MALAWI.
WASH IN SCHOOLS: MANY SCHOOLS IN MALAWI LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER AND SAFE SANITATION. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS MUST FETCH WATER FROM UNPROTECTED SOURCES THAT ARE OFTEN CONTAMINATED AND OFTEN ARE FORCED TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES IN THE BUSH. THIS EXPOSES THEM TO UNHYGIENIC PRACTICES AND OFTEN RESULTS IN WATER-RELATED DISEASE THE IMPACTS THEIR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN GIRLS REACH THE AGE OF PUBERTY, THEY OFTEN DROP OUT OF SCHOOL FOR LACK OF PRIVACY IN MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MANAGEMENT. THIS YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION CONSTRUCTED DEEP PIT LATRINE BLOCKS AT 2 SCHOOLS IN MALAWI.
WASH IN HEALTH CENTERS: WHEN A HEALTH CENTER LACKS ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE HYGIENIC, SAFE CARE TO THEIR PATIENTS, MUCH TIME IS WASTED, AND SERVICES ARE OFTEN DELAYED. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ENGINEER'S WITHOUT BOARDERS-USA'S ENGINEERING SERVICE CORPS, THE ORGANIZATION WAS ABLE TO FINALIZE PHASE II WASH SYSTEM UPGRADES AT 7 PILOT HEALTH CENTER WATER SYSTEMS IN MALAWI. ADDITIONALLY, IT COMPLETED OR IS IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETION OF 6 ADDITIONAL UPGRADES AT HEALTH CENTERS IN ZOMBA DISITRCT.
