“Form 990, Part III, line 4d. Other Program Services. In 2021, we worked with our local partners to implement over 50 water projects that include: 25 newly drilled boreholes, 24 broken pumps repaired, 9 solar water system installed which allowed running water for the very first time in the most remote locations. We held borehole maintenance training sessions, collaborated on our first solar irrigation project, organized menstrual hygiene education seminars that included reusable pads distribution, and partnered on mask and soap distribution in response to the ongoing covid epidemic. Our projects can be found throughout Malawi in schools, villages and health centers. Our projects impacted 158,474 people.”
