ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

In 2024, we were able to install 5 traditional water wells, 3 hand pumps and 136 bore holes

To date, we have installed 1685 water points and 430 bore holes providing access to water for over 380,000 people

Over 5.6 million people in rural areas of Malawi are deprived of access to clean and safe water, placing them at constant risk of waterborne diseases.

This lack of access not only affects health but also severely impacts daily life, limiting opportunities for education, economic activities, and overall community well-being.

Each year, approximately 3,000 children under the age of five lose their lives due to preventable water-related illnesses, such as diarrhoea and dysentery. These diseases often result from drinking contaminated water or poor sanitation practices, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions.

In response to this crisis, MRF has been dedicated to improving access to clean water and proper sanitation in these vulnerable communities.

Over the past year, MRF has made significant strides in addressing these challenges by providing clean water sources and constructing latrines for families in rural areas.

These efforts not only ensure a safer and healthier environment but also reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases.

By empowering communities with access to reliable water and sanitation services, MRF is helping to protect lives and improve overall quality of life for countless families.
