Malawi is among the world's least developed and most densely populated countries. Malawi is the 10th poorest country in the world. Despite Malawi's development progress in recent years, Malawi still has a low life expectancy amd high levels of infant mortality. Malawi only has a total water supply coverage of 76% and a total sanitation coverage of 60%. Pump Aid is working to give people in rural communities access to a clean and sustainable water supply.

Pump Aid will install 7 Elephant Pumps. These Elephant Pumps will provide a reliable, accessible and sustainable water pump for rural communities. Not only having a massive impact on health but also on education and agricultural production. Clean water means that children can go to school and communities can farm and sell their own produce, generating their own income.
