Feed the Children (Malawi)

In Malawi, FEED has made significant progress in improving the nutritional status of our beneficiary communities; increasing access to education; promoting healthy behaviors among children and their caregivers; and empowering communities to become self-sustaining as they overcome poverty. One way that we are doing this is by promoting the use of clean water. Having clean drinking water is critical for good health, especially for children, but access to clean water can be difficult and time consuming.

Throughout our program areas in Malawi, we are providing access to clean water through the drilling of boreholes. Our FEED staff train families on proper storage of water to ensure the household drinking water does not become contaminated. Additionally, we distribute packets of water purifying powder that turns dirty and potentially deadly water into water that is clean and safe to drink.
