Project Living Water

The project began in 2009 because women and children had to walk miles for water and carry full buckets back to their village. Twenty-four wells have been dug as of December 2020. The health status of the villagers has improved significantly, especially in the children now that they have clean water accessible.

The Chief in Namatingwi Village stated that before the well was dug there were many cases of Cholera in the village. Many lives have been saved The chief of another village said he had been trying to get a well for many years but only when ALM had a well dug for the village were his prayers answered. Will you help bring clean water to another rural village?

The cost of a well is approximately $22,000. USD. CLEAN WATER SAVES LIVES

IV ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT The Bicycle Project

Bicycles are purchased and donated to individuals who are interested in starting a business. The Rent A Ride business is comparable to our taxi service. The bicycle owner provides transportation to people who need assistance home with their market purchases or who need transportation to another destination. Another business is the bicycle owner goes to the lake to purchase fish which is brought back to market for sale. This business is very profitable. Bicycles are also donated to Pastors so they can visit members and other villages to preach the gospel. The cost of a good bicycle is approximately $ 100.00 USD.

ALL costs are approximate depending on the current exchange rate. The Malawi currency is Kwacha.

V Health Care

Health Clinics are conducted at least annually in rural villages where the people do not have the means to access the health centers or hospital. Adults and children are treated for various conditions. In some serious or severe conditions it is often necessary to provide resources for the people to go to the hospital. Parasites and anemia are often evident in the children. Many adults have hypertension, arthritis and diabetes. Persons with AIDS and Tuberculosis also come to the health clinics. Medications are purchased in Malawi to treat these client's conditions/diseases.

Proper nutrition is a major issue in the villages of Malawi. Three years ago in Bwanali Village 3 persons died from hunger. Food is distributed as part of the Health Care Program. The cost of 50Kg of beans, maize or rice is approximately $80.00

VI Sanford C. Mitchell Early Childhood Development Center

This pre-school is located in the rural village of Bwanali. The children have a long distance to travel to the government primary school.

VII Sandra Mitchell Tufts Training Center

This Center is located in Mulanje District which is centrally located to several villages. Women are able to prepare for various trades at the center. The Center is also used for village meetings. The Chief requested permission to also use the building for a pre-school, which was granted.
