We’re focused on the rural villages of Lupembe-Mlare in northern Malawi. Our first phase serves 1,650 community members across five villages.

Clean water underpins everything: it frees girls to attend school, cuts waterborne illness by over 60%, fuels small-scale farming, and reclaims 40+ hours per household each month—time families can redirect into income, education and community life.

That’s why water has to be first.

Solar-powered pumps require minimal fuel, and locally trained water committees ensure each borehole and tap operates reliably for 10–15 years.

Learn how you’ll help future-proof the water system as part of our six-step process to bringing clean water to Lupembe-Mlare, Malawi.
