Water for All: pedal pumps and wells for families

Dear Donor,

Three months have passed since the last monitoring trip in Malawi, where Aleimar’s Country manager Angela has visited all the project on the field with three Aleimar’s volunteers. Their enthusiasm and positive feedback about the active projects in the country are pushing us to engage and work always more in favor of all the children and communities helped also thanks to your contribution.

During the last 9 years Aleimar has delivered 50 pedal water pumps in Malawi, mostly in Mangochi District. Thanks to the project “Water for all” we have supported the local population from to main aspects: on one hand increasing their access to water has improved their health conditions; on the other hand, the local community – in particular the workers active in the agricultural sector – have seen their crops raising.

Aleimar not only provides pedal pumps; we also train the local population in order to acquire the best practices and methods that allow them to use these instruments in the best way. Thanks to this, local farmers can obtain up to 3 crops every year instead of just one. Aleimar also identifies groups of families in charge of taking care of the maintenance of the pedal pumps, so that they can last through time.

Our country manager Angela reports that since the Covid pandemic stated all the schools must have access to water to remain open. More than 300 schools do not have access to water and cannot operate according to current regulations. Attending school does not mean just receiving an education, it also means receiving the only daily meal. That’s why our project is so important!

Thanks to your support we can reach our goals and improve the living conditions of a lot of children and families. Thank you!
