CHCT provides clean fresh water for the village of Chipunga, Malawi

We are a very small charity but with great ambitions.  For that reason, we always make sure that our donations change the quality of life for as many people as possible and are sustainable for the whole community. This project provides water for many people and their gratitude is overwhelming.

The villagers have worked extremely hard to install this, as there are no roads, and the terrain is steep and rocky.  The very large tank, all the pipes and the cement had to be carried up on the villagers’ backs.  The Leaders of the village ensured a very high standard of work, which gives confidence for the future. The villagers have been trained in the maintenance of the system to ensure its long term sustainability.

One of the Chiefs of Chipunga said “We have been taken from darkness to light”.

The people of the village were reported to be “So happy, and at every tap site people were dancing and singing”.

In the future the villagers hope to install more taps themselves.

The cost of this project was £3000.  We are very grateful to all of those who contributed to this project.

We think that these results are something to be very proud of, and the community of Chipunga agrees with us.
