Malawi Water Wells

About 70 per cent of Malawi’s population currently lives below the $2.15 (Around R40) international poverty line with about 46 per cent of its national income being held by the top 20 per cent of the population.

It is currently rated by the World Bank as one of the top 10 poorest countries in the world.

The country has recently experienced powerful and damaging cyclones along with heavy flooding that has left much infrastructure destroyed.

The price for every day commodities such as cement and even maize is out of the reach of the poorest of the poor.

Throughout the year, Salaam Foundation digs wells in some of the most remote areas. These simple bucket and rope wells become a source of life as people have clean water to drink, irrigate their crops and feed their animals.

These wells currently cost R14 000 and can be done any other time in the year.
