Cecelia, Namadzi village

“I am 34. I have 4 children and work with my husband to tend the fields near our village. Pump Aid installed an Elephant Pump in 2006 in our village, since then no-one in the village has been affected by illness from bad water. Before the Elephant Pump was built families used the dirty pond as our best water source, this would often be dirty with weeds and have insects on top of the water. We had no choice but to use this for washing, drinking and cleaning. Now the Elephant Pump has been built it gives us clean water for everything. Our community has also built a separate washing area near the pump for our clothes and cooking pots. The run off water from the Elephant Pump has also provided irrigation to the land nearby which this year has produce a good crop of green beans. We can sell most of these which will help feed our families.”
