Water of Mercy
Msambanyifwa Village Well Project
Msambanyifwa Village Well Project
Location: Msambanyifwa ("sam-ban-i-fwa") Village, Malawi Africa
Population: 875+ residents plus nearby primary school
Current Water Situation: Msambanyifwa Village has been successfully funded thanks to 14 generous donors! We will have more updates once the construction process and blessing are complete. In Msambanyifwa Village, 875 residents face a life-threatening daily ordeal just to access water. Villagers, including learners and teachers at the primary school, must climb down into a 15-foot (5-meter) deep pit to collect water. Residents climb down steep, unstable earthen walls to reach the murky, contaminated water pooled at the bottom, scooping it into buckets and containers. The water is visibly contaminated and unsafe for drinking. This area is prone to cholera and other waterborne diseases, putting the entire community at constant health risk—especially the children and teachers at the primary school.
Project Impact: A properly constructed borehole in Msambanyifwa Village will serve over 875 people, including children and staff at the primary school. This essential infrastructure will provide clean, safe drinking water directly in the village, eliminating the dangerous daily ordeal of climbing into a 15-foot (5-meter) deep pit to collect contaminated water. The project will dramatically reduce the risk of cholera and other waterborne diseases that threaten this community, while removing the physical danger of accessing the current water source. School children will have access to safe water during their educational day, supporting better health outcomes and learning environments. Families will gain reliable access to clean water year-round without risking injury or illness.
