Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

Between 2017 and 2025 our WASH interventions directly benefited over 12,000 people in Ntchisi District and beyond.

We construct and rehabilitate water points — protected shallow wells fitted with Afridev pumps, boreholes, and solar-powered mechanised systems — and we pair every installation with the community structures that keep it working. Water Point Committees and Water Users Associations are established, trained and supported over the long term, which is why over 95% of the water systems we have installed remain functional.

On the sanitation side we train and certify local field masons who then build household and institutional latrines, and we run hygiene promotion in schools through competitions and the "Brush and Smile" initiative.
