In Machinga we are working in the villages of Kundowa, Sija, Namilepo and for the Magamba Health Centre.

There are as many as 2,827 boreholes in the region, of which 93% are currently functioning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Villages in the Machinga district without direct access to boreholes or waterpoints rely on those of community centres, such as a local mosque. As many as 10 small villages around the Madina mosque depend on their water tap, which can sometimes cause people to queue for an hour or more for their daily water.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\">Dig it yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">If a village is not near a safe water point, the inhabitants frequently dig a hole in the ground until they reach water, or fetch water from a nearby river. This is not without risk, because this water is not quality- checked and can make people very sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">There are 22 health centres in the region in addition to a hospital. All these locations now have access to running, clean water. However, many connections are wearing out and therefore need maintenance as soon as possbible.  <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32765 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-4-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-4-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-5-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32769 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-5-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-5-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Zomba District<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Zomba district has almost a million inhabitants and currently around 5000 water points. Of these, about 87% are functioning and all connections require a lot of maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The 32 health centres and the hospital in Zomba in particular need repairs to their water systems. The tanks are leaking, the solar panels are working overtime to refill the empty tanks, and there are not enough taps for the many people who come to collect water.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The hospital has a separate maternity ward, but it has no running water. As a result, patients &#8211; heavily pregnant or having recently given birth &#8211; have to fetch buckets of water themselves.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\">A matter of timing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">We are relieved that we were able to complete our commitment to Madzi for Malawi at the end of last year, because the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/feb\/09\/malawi-left-in-dire-straits-by-trump-decision-to-freeze-aid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">termination of sponsorship from America<\/a> at the beginning of this year has major consequences for projects and areas like this that are heavily dependent on foreign aid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Although it is difficult to predict what the future of these types of projects will be in these politically turbulent times, it is very reassuring for us and our project partner that we can at least help these districts, villages and many inhabitants in Malawi to improve their existing boreholes, repair leaks and make more water points available. This would not be possible without the support of our ambassadors. We are always very grateful to you, but in this case twice as much!<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32760 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-3-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Naamloos-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-lightgray-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Madzi for Malawi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">With the project (\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/madzi\">madzi<\/a>\u2019 means water in <a href=\"https:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nyanja_(taal)\">Chichewa<\/a>), we will improve water and sanitation facilities in two districts (Zomba and Machinga).
