Across parts of Zimbabwe and Malawi, access to clean water remains a daily challenge. Communities often rely on unsafe sources or travel long distances, placing health and livelihoods at constant risk.
Feed the World’s African handpump boreholes are designed as long term water solutions. Dug through difficult, rocky ground, these boreholes provide dependable access to clean water for entire communities, year after year.
Handpump boreholes are deep, mechanically simple water systems built for durability and ease of maintenance. Once installed, they can serve large populations with minimal ongoing cost.
Each borehole:
This makes handpump boreholes one of the most cost effective and reliable water interventions available.
Clean water transforms daily life. With a reliable borehole:
At approximately three dollars per beneficiary over the life of the borehole, this is impact measured not just in years, but in generations.
Boreholes are constructed in partnership with local communities and implementing partners who understand the terrain and long term needs.
Community members are involved in site selection, use, and maintenance, helping ensure the borehole remains functional and protected long after installation.
This approach prioritises ownership, accountability, and sustainability.
Supporting the Africa HP Borehole project means investing in infrastructure that delivers clean water to thousands of people for decades.
This is water that lasts. Water that sustains. Water that changes lives.
Donate today and help build boreholes that serve communities for generations.
Handpump boreholes serving ~2,000–2,500 people for 20–30 years in tough terrain.
