We are thrilled to share this update on the rehabilitation of a well for the community of Mthiko, central Malawi in December - a first for us at #theSonderProject!

While we have supported the drilling and installation of several new wells in Malawi and Burkina Faso, this particular community had an existing borehole with a persisting mechanical problem. 

In partnership with the Malawi Ministry of Water, local chiefs, mechanics and of course community members, the rehabilitation was a 3-month collaborative process. 
How it went: Assessment site visits > pumping tests > community mass meetings > 
rehabilitation > celebration of completion > maintenance training

>> Swipe to see snapshots of the past year's community participation and work on the project.
