£23,268	18/06/2020	While poor access to safe water affects everyone, it disproportionately affects women and girls, who bear the burden of water fetching, and children and young people, whose education and life chances ....more While poor access to safe water affects everyone, it disproportionately affects women and girls, who bear the burden of water fetching, and children and young people, whose education and life chances are too often blighted by wholly preventable water-borne disease. While the Malawi government and larger NGOs rightly focus their efforts on the larger population centres, we work in the small and remote rural communities that are often left behind.
The EQ Foundation - Grant to Pump Aid
£5,000	10/06/2020	Via The Funding Network
Comic Relief - Small scale business development and community mobilisation for healthy and clean urban slums

Few people have access to toilets and many of these overflow as there is no emptying system in place. Also solid waste is rarely collected.This project will enable local community groups to take on contracts to empty toilets. They will also run publicity campaigns to make people more aware of the health risks of contaminated water. Water filters and latrines will be sold at low prices, and local people will be assisted to start up their own businesses to collect, recycle, and sell waste: the compost will then be used for producing flowers and vegetables.
