IRS990/Desc0WASH IN COMMUNITIES: MOST OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PROJECTS ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE RURAL AREAS OF MALAWI, IN COMMUNITIES WHERE ACCESS TO CLEAR WATER, SAFE SANITATION, AND HYGIENE INFORMATION IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE. THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FREDDY IN EARLY MARCH, WE FOCUSED ON DISASTER RESPONSE EFFORTS TO COMMUNITIES. THIS INCLUDED THE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER AND HYGIENE SUPPLIES SUCH AS: WATER FILTERS, WATER STORAGE BUCKETS, BUCKETS WITH TAPS, PLASTIC HAND WASHING BASINS, AQUATABS, CHLORINE, AND MULTI-PURPOSE SOAP TABLETS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY INSTALLED ONE WELL AT MAGOMBO VILLAGE IN MBETA.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0WASH IN SCHOOLS: MANY SCHOOLS IN MALAWI LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER AND SAFE SANITATION. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS MUST FETCH WATER FROM UNPROTECTED SOURCES THAT ARE OFTEN CONTAMINATED AND OFTEN ARE FORCED TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES IN THE BUSH. THIS EXPOSES THEM TO UNHYGIENIC PRACTICES AND OFTEN RESULTS IN WATER-RELATED DISEASE THAT IMPACTS THEIR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN GIRLS REACH THE AGE OF PUBERTY, THEY OFTEN DROP OUT OF SCHOOL FOR LACK OF PRIVACY IN MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MANAGEMENT. THIS YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION UPGRADED WASH SYSTEMS AT FIVE SCHOOLS IN MALAWI.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0WASH IN HEALTH CENTERS: WHEN A HEALTH CENTER LACKS ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TO PROVIDE HYGIENIC, SAFE CARE TO THEIR PATIENTS, MUCH TIME IS WASTED, AND SERVICES ARE OFTEN DELAYED. IN ZOMBA DISTRICT, THE ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERS UPGRADED WASH SYSTEMS AT 100% OF THE GOVERNMENT HEALTH CENTERS.
