A couple notes from the Country Coordinator in Malawi. Accomplishment of 2010: Water Missions Malawi completed the Official NGO paperwork for the registration in Malawi. This is a great step forward for the program. Plans for 2011: We have targeted to start 16 safe water projects in 2011.

Testimony from Nkhoma CCAP Mission Hospital, Lilongwe, Malawi:

We thank Water Missions for the gift of safe and protected water received within the hospital section. We do testify that this water has really made a difference. It has substantiated our efforts and training to have people use clean and safe water. Now we teach and they see the clean water. Some people do not have safe water, and it is from there that we see people getting sick of water born diseases. Those using this clean water do not get sick of diarrhea diseases which was the different case last year when we didn’t have this treatment system.” Matron, Edna Ngwanda, Nkhoma Mission Hospital
