Sources of drinking water in Mphanda

This shallow well has only about a foot or so of water in it for an entire village. Some water is trickling in to fill it, but there is no way it provides enough good drinking water for the entire village. We hope to make it deeper and put a pump so they can have lots of fresh clean drinking water.






This is another water source that is approximately 1 km from the church building. There are people who live very far on the other side of the church who also walk to get water for washing and drinking. The water hole is very shallow. There is water trickling out of the rocks above that replenishes enough water for some of the families.

I'm hoping the funds raised by our student ministry will help bring good drinking water to Mphanda! Even though worship outside in Mphanda was one of my favorite days in Malawi, it's good to see a church building and pulpit for them.
