PROJECT SCOPE. This is a project in which we are trying to improve the health of the communities by preventing water borne diseases like cholera, dysentery and polio by the provision of safe water through the installation of simple manual borehole pump ..

PROJECT DESCRIPTION. More people have been killed and displaced by Tropical Storms in Malawi. The flooding comes as Malawi starts to recover from the effects of tropical storm Ana, which hit the country earlier, affecting more than 900,000 people in 17 of the country’s 28 districts . Rains has been highly linked to Cholera in Malawi every year. The situation has become worse this year due to the cyclones. According to UNICEF report on Malawi cyclones (2022) “On 2 March 2022, Malawi confirmed first case of cholera at Machinga District Hospital(p.g, 2). Chiradzulu district has been experiencing water problems due low water table. This makes the initiative of accessing water more expensive in which most communites do not afford. Our initiative is based on providing safe water through the installation of new improved, affordable and durable boreholes to prevent Cholera in 3 selected vulnerable communities in Chiradzulu district in the southern part of Malawi..

PROJECT OBJECTIVES.. P ro viding access to clean water to 3 targeted communities by installing 3 borehole pumps in the first quarter of the project. Creating Community water borne diseases ( Cholera) prevention and treatment awareness to prevent the outbreak through sensitization campaigns the first quarter of the project. Cr eating community participation spirit in community members through community project active involvement in all stages through out the project circle. Creating community disaster management plan as a means of community disaster preparedness to avoid and control future outbreaks through capacity building workshops..

ANTICIPATED PROJECT OUTCOME.. • Over 60% of community household in the 3 targeted communities having access to safe and clean water. • Reduced number/percentage of water borne diseases like cholera in the 6 targeted communities within 6months of project implementation. • Active Participation of community members in the installation of the borehole pumps from the well digging to installation through provision of labour force and production of construction bricks..

PROJECT INDICATORS. IMPACT EVALUATION.. The indicators of this project include: Number of borehole pumps installed within first 3 months . Target being half of the total pumps to be installed. Number of capacity building workshops and sensitization sessions conducted. Target being 3 workshops and 6 sensitization campagns. Number or percentage of community members accessing the clean safe water from the borehole pump. Target being above 60%. Number of Community members taking part in providing labour force during the implementation. Target being over community volunteers..

PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY.. Once everything is done, this will be a self sustaining initiative. The selection of the borehole committees will ensure sustainability of the boreholes and its surrounding. The skills gained by the community borehole committees will continue in managing, maintaining and repairing of the boreholes in the future. The money contributed every month will also be responsible for continuity purchase of spare parts of the boreholes or hiring of experts if any technical problem beyond their capacity arises. As more funds are raised, they may use extra in the purchasing and installation of another borehole in order to reduce the pressure of all the community drinking from one borehole which may lead to its sustainability..

WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PUMPS ONCE INSTALLED?..

PROJECT IMPACT. This project has brought a number of positive results to the communities. In the communities we reached out and implemented this project: Over 60% of the community residents have access to safe water all the time. This translate to over 30,000 individuals having access to safe water all year. The project has brought that sense of community social responsibility in solving their own family, community and country problems. This have mainly achieved through their active participation through in the project circle. Communities are now able to solve community problems cohesively after our project. For instance in one of our implementation community called Chimwadza village, after we mobilized the community members for this project, the community authorities also used the same gatherings in persuading them to repair a bridge that was damaged due to the cyclones. The bridge connects Chimwadza village to another village. The bridge was repaired within 8hrs as the whole community participated. The project has also managed to build the capacity of the communities in borehole repair and management, cholera prevention and treatment and community disaster management. This has been achieved through our community sensitization campaigns and capacity building workshops..
