Community Well

Women and children in Malawi and other countries walk for miles every day to fetch water from contaminated sources such as rivers or stagnant ponds that can make them sick. A high-quality LifePump™* gives families easy access to clean water for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing clothes, growing gardens, and watering livestock. Often, up to 850 people benefit from one pump.

*About LifePumps™
Thousands of hand pumps are installed in developing countries but end up failing due to extensive use. Because of this common problem, CAM now funds highly-engineered pumps in Malawi. These high-quality pumps, designed by Christian engineers, are called LifePumps™. The cost for LifePumps™ is significantly higher than traditional pumps, but they are designed to last for years without needing much maintenance.
