Two years had passed since Manyumba's primary school had a functioning clean water well. Now that has changed, thanks to our direct donors. The school's headmaster thanked the community for choosing to drill the well at his school, where everyone will benefit. Manyumba's chief said that he wants his village to serve as the headquarters for Village X in Mulanje District because the unique development model has changed the village for the better. Other local leaders offered similar comments. Within a week Manyumba residents will meet to choose their next project.

The metal pump and surrounding cement support structure have been installed. The borehole will remain unused for the next week or so, as the cement dries and hardens. Manyumba is working on selecting a date to celebrate the opening of the well.

Drilling is underway in Manyumba, working through the night! Shouldn't be long before we strike clean water. Will report back.
