Water Well:

Constructing water wells is crucial for providing communities in Southern Africa with sustainable access to clean and safe drinking water, addressing a fundamental human need and promoting public health.

For a number of years, SANZAF has been actively involved in the construction of over 80 water wells, specifically in villages

in Malawi. These areas are home to thousands of individuals who grapple with the challenge of not having access to a safe and clean water source. This essential assistance to people living in poverty, ensuring they gain access to the vital resource of clean water.
