Our StrategyWe help among the “neediest of the needy” in Northern Malawi by focusing one village at a time starting in the community of Luhomero – a network of 42 villages. Working with local partners in a way that unleashes their potential, Love a Village has set some ambitious but simple 5 year goals:- 50 shallow wells (10/year)- 500 water filters (100/year)- 500 toilets (100/year)- New farming techniques training and implementation- Sheet metal roofing to replace homes with thatch roofing- Chickens, goats & other animals- Girls programs involving teaching sewing skills & feminine hygieneOur goal is that at the end of 5 years, each village will have toilets, food security, safe shelter, access to education and easily accessible clean water.Working with SawyerWater is non-negotiable for survival. We don’t want to stand by while villagers rely on contaminated water on a daily basis. Through simple and creative initiatives implemented through partnerships with local leaders, you can join us to make a difference.We are helping to provide clean water in 2 ways:- Water Filters through Sawyer PointOne Filters- Shallow Wells through SMART Centre MalawiTraining & PartnershipA local team of volunteer leaders is the backbone of our vision. Our lives have been irrevocably changed through encountering the strength, resilience, and ingenuity of our Malawian friends.
