Matriach helps mobilise water and sanitation for her village in Chikhwawa
Meet Elida Singret Timbenawo the lll(Third),she is the Senior Chief of Timbenawo village, Chikwawa, Malawi. with her leadership and mobilisation, she has collaborated with Water For People, in turning around the fate of her village in terms of access to water and sanitation.
Timbenawo village has come from being a water scarce, disease prone place where women walk for four hours in search of water to one where communal water is readily available, children are healthier and women look smarter and have more time for themselves. However there are few parts of the village yet to get boreholes.
The joy of having a nearby water source! See what a festival, collecting water at peak hours becomes.
So now there is water!
And more water even for this young one who is lucky to be born at a time when there is a nearby water source.

What about the operation and maintainance of the hand pump boreholes. Well each village has a water point committee who oversee the running of the water points and usually the tariff is paid by households on a monthly basis.

Except for a few parts of Chikhwawa which are yet to get boreholes and Water For People intends to construct additional boreholes in the coming months. See below a woman gets water from a scoop hole. An sure her story will soon change.
