0 Water & Crocodiles, Malawi
Access to safe, clean water is the number one priority for all communities we work with in wildlife areas of Africa. It is life giving.
We are thrilled that we have been able to expand our water programme into Malawi – one of the poorest countries in Africa. And boy was this a challenge as you will read!!!
It is a real testimony to the tenacity and resilience of marginalised people in Africa that our water programme in Malawi has borne fruit. It was both inspiring and humbling in equal measures to walk this journey with them.
We hope you will enjoy reading the attached update and also watching the 2 videos here.
If you would like to join the High Five Club to support marginalised, inspiring communities we partner with including the Brown Munthali Foundation here in Malawi do get in touch.
