WATER WORKS 

Water Works is committed to reducing the prevalence of water borne disease in Malawi by assisting rural communities to gain access to safe drinking water, hygienic sanitation facilities and to improve hygiene practices.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile recently
