Kabiza Village Well Project
Kabiza Village Well Project
Location: Kabiza Village, Malawi Africa
Population: 700+
Current Water Situation: The Kabiza Village Well Project has been successfully completed. The project was fully funded on October 5, 2025, and drilling was completed in just one day, an exceptionally fast turnaround for a rural installation. The drilling operation achieved a very high water yield, ensuring abundant clean water for the community. More than 700 people in Kabiza Village now have access to clean, safe drinking water. The official handover of the well to the community occurred during a Catholic Mass on November 10th 2025. A local water committee will be established for maintenance and management of the well. With proper care, it should serve the community for approximately 75 years.
Project Impact: Before this project, families in Kabiza Village were forced to walk over 1 kilometer to collect water from shallow, hand-dug wells shared with livestock. These open water sources were heavily contaminated with mud, debris, and animal waste, creating murky, unsafe water that posed serious health risks to the entire community. Families had no choice but to collect this contaminated water in buckets for drinking, cooking, and daily use. Today, more than 700 people in Kabiza Village have access to clean, safe drinking water. Children no longer need to make dangerous water collection journeys and will have more time for education. Families no longer face the daily burden of walking long distances for contaminated water, and the risk of waterborne diseases has been dramatically reduced. The high water yield from this well ensures reliable access to abundant clean water year-round. With proper maintenance and management by the community water committee, this vital resource should serve Kabiza Village for approximately 75 years.
