Working to improve the sustainability of groundwater sources for rural populations to access safe drinking water in Malawi!

We can’t keep quiet! 🎉

Join us in celebrating our assistant hydrogeologist, Gloria Musopole, for being one of the Rising Star Award winners at the inaugural Women in #WASH Awards at @AfWASA_AAEA Conference in Cameroon 🏆 💧

Our Gen-Z team is not just vibes and memes 🔥🤪!

#NGOs are often judged by how much they spend 💰💸 The more, the better!

But does #spending more always mean greater impact? Does spending less sometimes achieve more? 🤔

"Spend It or Lose It" premieres in ONE HOUR (11AM CAT today) ⏳🎬 Find it here: https://t.co/wvHk351HfN

New project. New #budget. New #water infrastructure. But what happens to what is already there?

"Spend It or Lose It", our short #film, explores what happens when pressure to spend meets reality. Watch it this coming Thurs: https://t.co/wvHk351HfN

Good work doesn’t always go:

plan → success

Sometimes it goes:

plan → try → learn → change → try again.

That middle part matters too.

[BASEflow @BASEflowMW]

What happens when spending becomes the measure of success?🤔

In rural #water supply, pressure to spend 🤑sometimes creates unintended consequences 🫨

Our short film, Spend It or Lose It, explores one of them. Coming next week. More here: https://t.co/wvHk351HfN

When a borehole fails☹️, the driller often gets the blame.

But if we want wells that don't run dry 💧, investing in drillers matters👷👨‍🔧.

A spreadsheet can tell you what changed.

A local leader can often tell you why.

You probably want both in the room.

Building the next generation of female hydrogeologists takes more than talk.

This week, our team is in South Africa 🇿🇦and Kenya 🇰🇪, strengthening their skills in #groundwater management and leadership.

The next generation comes with out-of-office messages. 🤣🌍💧

Falling interest rates don't only affect investors. They also affect how #climate resilience is financed. Read how our borehole #insurance model adapted to changing economic conditions and what this means for the future of rural #water services: https://t.co/zBjEFwPvIo

Several handpumps are non-functional in #Malawi. Now we want more sophisticated solar-powered piped #water systems. Are we ready to maintain them?

Our Team Leader argues this isn't about 'old vs new tech'. Read the blog: https://t.co/aFjKuWD62L

#Groundwater recharge isn't optional if #Malawi is to avert a deepening #water crisis. Rather than reinvent, we learn from those already doing the work. Together w/ @selfhelpafrica, we recently visited sand dams . Here's what we learned: https://t.co/NO9idlw9bM

💧 Failed boreholes = #Water banks

4 in 5 Malawians depend on #groundwater, yet thousands of boreholes are abandoned. We're converting them into recharge wells, directing rainfall back into the aquifers.

When floods rise, water points fail, but not this time. This is what #resilience looks like.
Scan the QR code or go to https://t.co/NjUCu2GIf6 to help us build more flood-proof handpumps for communities who need them most.

[BASEflow @BASEflowMW]

We are thrilled to be co-author on this latest publication in Public Library Of Science (PLOS) Water.

Key Message: Unless we properly understand and manage #groundwater, efforts to build #climate resilient #water systems will fail.

Safe water, sanitation and hygiene are not luxuries—they are essential for health, education, gender equality and economic growth.

It was an ordinary meeting in Thyolo. Boreholes. Budgets. Workplans. Then her phone vibrated. She almost ignored it. Good thing she didn't.

“Seeing it in action…opened my eyes." 😃

Our recent learning visit with @WesNetworkMw brought partners together to rethink how #Groundwater data and climate resilience interact.
