Revision history [back]

At The AMECA Trust we are at the point of construction of a primary healthcare clinic in the hills surrounding Blantyre, which will serve an approximate per-urban population of 22,000 in 11 catchment villages.

In summary, Chilaweni Village has a working bore hole at the primary school, but this is remote from the clinic site and would not really assist the clinical requirements of the clinic. A second bore hole in a nearer location is no longer functional. A mains pipe belonging to Blantyre Water is accessible, but the supply from the water board is currently sealed off, as the villagers could not afford the bills. Although this can be re-instated, the water supply is at best, unreliable and furthermore this would only result in the same outcome, over the long term.

Any assistance that you may be able to provide in terms of grant funding for a bore hole at the primary healthcare clinic site would be gratefully received.
