Contribute Water - Every bottle sold brings clean water to Africa! When we are out and about we can buy bottled water easily.

Yet, in the least developed countries this is a rare luxury. Contribute Water is a charity water. For every bottle YOU purchase, part of the revenue will go to our charity partner Pump Aid who specializes in water projects in Africa. Our Water is being sold at the same price range and quality as other brands but with one important difference; - every bottle sold brings clean water to Africa. Contr

ibute Water was launched in Malta in 2013 with a vision to be part in the creation of a world where everyone has access to clean drinking water and sanitation. Today, more than one out of nine people in the world lack access to safe drinking water, namely 783 million people, and more than two out of five lack adequate sanitation (2,5 billion people). Every 20 seconds, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation, that is 1,5 million preventable deaths each year (estimation for 2012, by UN Water). Seen over a day more than 4500 children dies from water borne diseases. We believe that or concept can help prevent part of the suffering and death which is why we have developed Contribute Water. Be a part of Contribute Water and make a difference!

Today is World Water day!

Access to clean, safe water and sanitation changes everything, and is even more crucial in the fight against COVID-19 in Malawi. This World Water Day, Contribute Water is supporting Pump Aid by ensuring water points are functioning, promoting improved hygiene behaviour, including handwashing, and supporting children under 5 to flourish at pre-schools with improved water and sanitation.

On this World Handwashing Day, we are thrilled to be supporting Pump Aid who use innovative and sustainable solutions to reduce water poverty and food insecurity in rural Malawi.

Contribute’s support has helped to provide water points at pre-schools for children under 5 in rural Malawi, providing access to clean, safe water for washing hands, enabling children to flourish and reach their potentials.

Washing hands is crucial in improving health and increasing resilience to disease; particularly vital in the fight against COVID-19 in Malawi.

Here comes a fresh charity update from Fanuwelo (Malawi), where Contribute Water built a water pump and kitchen garden in a pre-school.

In previous updates, we have focused on the life-changing impact of the water point, toilets, handwashing facilities and the role of caregivers in the Fanuwelo pre-school. Crucially, as well as supporting all the children attending Fanuwelo pre-school, the water point has dramatically improved the life of the 150 people in the surrounding community. Before the installation of the water point, community members had to walk over 400 metres away to reach the nearest source of potable water. This burden would often fall on the women and girls within the community. Additionally, the source of water would be used by many villages, leading to long queues and often a fee for usage. As the water was unprotected, it would be dirty and contaminated, and members of the community would frequently fall ill with diarrhoea and other water-borne diseases.

Now the community enjoy a conveniently located and reliable source of clean, safe water. Health has drastically improved and women and girls now have time to do other things. In the context of COVID-19, access to clean, safe water is especially crucial to effectively wash hands, for better health and to increase resilience to diseases.

We’ll end the update the update with a few words from one of the villagers:
“Our life is better now. Water is close by and our children aren’t falling ill with diarrhoea. The pump works well and the community has embraced it.”
Nellie Mphasa, parent of child attending the pre-school and community resident.

Hi Contribute family. Hope you're enjoying summer and you're making sure to stay hydrated in this warm weather.

We are very proud to share the latest update from the Fanuwelo pre-school that Contribute Water has supported:

Thanks to support from Contribute Water, Pump Aid has provided a waterpoint, child-friendly toilets, handwashing stations, hygiene behaviour education for children and surrounding communities, and nutritious meals, using crops grown in the kitchen garden at Fanuwelo pre-school in Mchinji District, Malawi.

In previous updates, we have focused on the life-changing impact of the water point, toilets and handwashing. Today we would like to focus on the role of caregivers and learning at Fanuwelo pre-school.

As pre-schools are volunteer-led, the role of caregivers is crucial in teaching the children and ensuring they are looked after whilst at the pre-school. After receiving support from Pump Aid, caregivers understand the importance of teaching through song and play in order for children to remember what they have learnt. With improved nutrition and access to water and sanitation, parents of children attending the pre-school find their children are thriving and able to retain what they have been taught.

Access to water, sanitation and nutritious food changes everything. Children attending pre-schools with water and sanitation are also found to be ahead of their peers upon moving to primary school. Caregivers at Fanuwelo pre-school have even received positive feedback from the nearby primary school regarding the ability of children who have previously attended their pre-school. Thank you, Contribute Water, for all of your support and for giving children under 5 attending Fanuwelo pre-school the opportunity to flourish with significantly improved life chances.

Summer is just around the corner, make sure that you stay hydrated and safe!

Hello Contribute family.

We apologize that it has been a bit quiet here for a while, but now we have a great update! :)

As you know, Contribute Water has been supporting the delivery of water, sanitation and hygiene behaviours at a pre-school nursery in Fanuwelo (Malawi). Last time we told you about the impact of the pump and safe water delivered through your support. This update focuses on the toilets and hand-washing facilities!

Before the support from Contribute Water, there were no toilets or hand-washing facilities available to the 75 children attending the Fanuwelo pre-school. Open defecation was a common practice and children would eat food without washing their hands, leading to diarrhea and stunting.

At least 5 children previously suffered from diarrhea a week. This would result in their absence from pre-school, missing lessons and falling behind peers in terms of educational attainment. Parents were also having to spend a high proportion of, their often limited, income on medicine.

Since the installation of toilets and hand-washing facilities, cases of diarrhea have reduced, and children no longer miss school. They can instead attend and learn, use the toilets followed by washing their hands with clean, safe water, as well as hand-washing before and after eating.

Thank you all supporters for making this happen!

Some further information about our project in the pre-school of Fanuwelo:

The time caregivers would spend collecting water can now be used to teach children lessons and prepare meals, and community members no longer have to travel long distances for water for domestic use.

75 children under the age of 5 are attending the pre-school and flourishing due to the presence of clean, safe water. They are able to wash their hands after using the toilet, and before and after eating food. This has led to reduced rates of diarrhoea and stunting, meaning children are now able to regularly attend school, in a healthy environment.
The lives of all at Fanuwelo pre-school and in the surrounding community have been transformed.

AWESOME UPDATE: We have finalized our fifth water pump project, this time in the pre-school in Fanuwelo, Malawi!!!

Some words from our charity partner Pump Aid:

Support from Contribute Water has helped to provide a water point, handwashing stations, hygiene behaviour change education and a kitchen garden at Fanuwelo pre-school.

Previously there was no water point at the pre-school. Instead caregivers would walk over 400 metres away, to a well used by a number of surrounding villages. There would be a long line, causing delays in the caregivers bringing water back to the pre-school.

The installation of a pump in 2019 has given the children, caregivers and surrounding community convenient access to a reliable source of clean, safe water.

More updates to follow :)

Check out these photos from Malolo pre-school, a place supported by Contribute Water with the help from all you Contributors. Still mind-blowing for us that we can do so much good just by making a conscious choice of what water we drink here in Malta. Thanks for all your help and well done to our charity partner Pump Aid

Another update from our work in the pre-school in Malolo:

Not only did our donations help installing a water pump, but also a kitchen garden. Pump Aid trained the management committee and provided them with seeds to start up a kitchen garden.

A number of crops are now grown, including tomatoes, mustard, cabbage, pumpkin leaves and cocoyam.

Nutritious meals are created for children at the pre-school using produce from the kitchen garden. This leads to higher cognitive abilities and gives children the opportunity to flourish.

25,000 meals are provided to the children at Malolo pre-school every year using produce from the kitchen garden.

16/10/2019

Remember the pre-school in Malolo where we built a water pump some time ago? We have now received an update from there that we are super proud to present in the coming posts.

The pre-school in Malolo now has 180 students with access to clean, safe water and toilets. Rates of diarrhea and water-borne diseases have reduced, leading to higher school attendance and children having the chance to thrive.

Education is the key to success and development in Malawi. For children to have access to education, they need to be healthy, but this was not previously the case at Malolo pre-school.

Our charity partner on the ground in Malawi, Pump Aid, also trained caregivers for the pre-school in hygiene education and sanitation so that they can teach children better hygienic behaviour such as handwashing before eating and after visiting the toilet and how to use the latrines.
