  Clean Water Initiative

Malawi Despite rich water reserves just beneath Malawi’s ground, many rural villages have unusable well pumps due to broken parts, theft, or simple degradation of the well itself.
Because rural areas do not have access to the funding, tools, training, or services to repair these wells, Malawi still has over 2.4 million people without access to safe water, and over 5,300 children are dying every year from water-borne illness and disease alone.

CHILD LEGACY CAN REPAIR A VILLAGE’S WELL FOR ONLY $1,250 AND PROVIDE CLEAN WATER TO OVER 2,100 PEOPLE!

Well Repairs

Well repair at Mkuwira village MalawiChild Legacy International repairs broken water pumps across the entire country of Malawi, an entirely free service for the communities in need. Repairing wells alone ensures decreased mortality rates and allows women and girls— who spend the majority of their days hauling water long distances — the chance to manage their households, attend school, or engage in income generating work. A gospel message is shared during every repair; however, a Christian faith is not required to receive a well repair. We work closely with community members to teach and promote safe health and hygiene practices, such as washing their hands and dishes with soap and handling water the safe way. The goal of our Clean Water program is to reduce the spread of waterborne illnesses across the nation.

Clean Water Climb

2014 summit + tishLaunched in 2011, the purpose of this annual climb is to raise awareness and funds for clean water in Malawi, Africa. You may be thinking, “Why climb to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro?” It’s simple. Mt. Kilimanjaro is the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. It reaches an outrageous 19,341 feet. That’s nearly 4 miles upward. This mountain is large, and that is a perfect representation of the enormity of the water problem in Malawi, Africa.
