A couple of weeks ago, we announced a major sonder_project milestone — the completion of our FIFTIETH deep-water well, which was drilled at a primary school in the community of Thimbi in Malawi. Today, we wanted to share some gorgeous visuals from the inauguration ceremony for well #️⃣ 5️⃣0️⃣ !

The ceremony was attended by the 1,000 primary school students in Thimbi, along with teachers, administrators, members of the Thimbi community, plus our entire Malawi team, and even our country director from Burkina Faso, where the majority of our wells have been drilled. 

The afternoon was filled with joy and jubilation, including heartfelt speeches, music and poetry performances from students, as well as a vibrant cultural performance by local dancers in #GuleWamkulu costumes. Our favorite part was watching the students excitement as they lined up to have their first sips of clean water from the new well! 

Zikomo kwambiri to our local teams who’ve worked tirelessly for the past few years to achieve this huge milestone. Thank you to our videographer humansbeingmedia for artfully documenting our entire trip to Malawi, including this very special 50th well celebration. And thank you so much to our committed donors 360_blue , naturalretreats , keydatadashboard who helped to fund this well through their 1% employee donation program. 

We are so proud of this accomplishment and the over 50,000 people who now have the fundamental right to access clean water from these 50 wells. To another 50 Sonder wells - Oye!
