l. Introduction Water Works is committed to reducing the prevalence of waterborne disease in rural Malawi by supporting communities gain access to safe drinking water, hygienic sanitation facilities and improved hygiene practices. Our approach is not to give handouts, but to empower people to meet their needs. We do this by- promoting improved hygiene awareness and practice: assisting households to construct latrines and hand-washing systems, and supporting communities to install, manage and maintain simple, innovative and sustainable water pump technologies. In addition, we have introduced tree planting; distributing fruit trees to individual households and forestry trees to the village community. Water Works focuses its programmes in the Traditional Authority ITAI of Mbwatalika (formerly demarcated as TA Malilil. about 20km west of Malawi's capital city of Lilongwe. The area receives little assistance from the government or other NGOS despite, prior to our intervention, over half of the villages not having access to safe drinking water and most households not having a latrine. Since 2009, we have assisted 149 Malawian villages to construct and maintain water points, provided safe drinking water for 24,200 people. supported 5,400 families to build hygienic latrines, helped a primary school with 300 students to build two blocks of latrines and run hygiene awareness sessions for 9,640 people. Our household surveys have found that projects have helped to dramatically reduce the percentage of children under five suffering from diarrhoea within the previous week from 15.60A to 3.70A. 2. The Project in Numbers 14 villages started and completed 1908 beneficiaries reached 14 village hygiene programmes completed 1148 people attending hygiene sessions 523 latrines and handwashing systems constructed 97 latrines constructed for vulnerable households 36 latrines with a raised pedestal constructed for household with impaired mobility 13 water points installed 103 out of 115 previously constructed water pumps functioning 831,000 MWK lapprox. £6821 collected for water pump repair service 12 water committees trained on repair service and financial management 12 water committees trained of water pump repair 120 baseline surveys completed 139 endline surveys completed 14 villages verified as Open Defecation Free 13 of the 2022 water points with potable water
Two of the 14 villages had a clean supply of water and were assisted to build hygienic latrines and handwashing systems only. We also supported a village from 2021 with an additional water point th making the number of water points installed to 13. The 13 water point has been installed following a request from the village as the previously constructed water point had been running dry due to low yield. 3. The Project Narrative The programme consisted of the following phases.. Community mobillsatlon and hygiene awareness (the hygiene programme)- Health Surveillance Assistants IHSASI, employed by the Ministry of Health, are engaged by Water Works to mobilise the communities to address and improve their water, sanitation and hygiene behaviours through the application of the approaches Community Led Total Sanitation ICLTSI and Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Transformation IPHASTI. Construrtion of latrines and handwashing system- we assist the communities to meet their sanitation and hygiene goals through the construction of latrines and hand washing systems. Construction of the water polnt- we assist the communities to protect their water resources with the Water Works hand pumps. The repair service: the water pump repair service ensures that the water points installed by Water Works since 2010, not otherwise decommissioned, remain operational. Tree planting: seedlings are supplied with a view for them to be located in disused latrine pits exploiting the nutrients left there and below the water point where they could be irrigated by the run- off water. 3.1 Hygiene Programme A hygiene training programme was led by health surveillance assistants in each of the 14 villages before commencement of the latrine and waterpoint construction works. It was carried out against a backdrop of Malawi suffering her deadliest cholera outbreak in recorded history. The cumulative confirmed cases and deaths, in the year following the outbreak in March 2022, was 57,786 and 1,736, respectively, with a case fatality rate of 3.OOA. The figures for the catchment area covered by Water Works were also alarming. In the Chitedze Health District, there were 388 cases and 17 deaths out of population of 79,319 and in the Mbwatelika Health District, there were 22 cases and 2 deaths out of a population of 24,184. The key drivers of a cholera outbreak are use of unsafe water sources, limited access to safe sanitation and hygiene facilities, and poor food hygiene and hygienic practices, particularly limited handwashing with soap at critical times. HSAS took the opportunity this year of disseminating cholera prevention messages during the 7-day long hygiene programmes and during ODF lopen defecation freel celebrations. A baseline survey on hygiene knowledge, attitudes and practice was conducted in a sample of l in 3 households before the project in each village began and an endline survey was done one to two weeks after the community had started using the improved water and sanitation facilities. The surveys are
conducted using mobile phone technology and then synced to the Mwater platform. The results show that the project has been effective in increasing knowledge on the prevention of diarrhoea and assisting the communities to embrace better hygiene practices such as handwashing at critical times, as in the table below..

3.2 Construction of Latrines and Handwashing Systems Following the development of community action plans in the hygiene programme, our builders spent three weeks in each of the 14 villages assisting with their implementation. This included the construction of 523 latrines and hand washing systems. The project implementation was community led with the entire community mobilised to take collective responsibility for their village, as it was emphasised that if one person continues bad practices, it could affect the health of everybody. To further increase ownership, the communities were responsible for providing the materials they can, such as mud bricks for the latrine walls and timber and grass for the roofs. Water Works assisted by supplying materials that the communitie5 cannot provide themselves, such as cement and quarry for the concrete sanitation platform. Community groups were formed and assigned responsibilities, for example digging the latrine pits, making and collecting bricks and sand, constructing the latrine sanitation platforms etc. This collective approach to latrine construction ensured that vulnerable households unable to construct their own latrine were assisted: 97 such households were identified. We also provided additional support to ensure that the sanitation facilities are suitable for those with special needs. This included the construction of 36 latrines with raised pedestals for those with a mobility disability. However, many households with disabled family members also have young children, who may have difficulty climbing onto the raised seat. To address this, our senior construction builder, Kingston Tsamba, fashioned steps that the younger beneficiaries can use Isee photol. For each latrine, we taught the communities to construct a simple hand washing facility with locally available materials. Girl washing hands with soap outside newly constructed latrine
Prior to the start of the project, just half of the households151%1 had a latrine and they were all traditional,. i.e where the platform was constructed of wood, was liable to be attacked by termites and to collapse. In total, 523 latrines and handwashing systems were constructed so that all households had an improved latrine, apart from one, where the villager had migrated to the city in search of piece work. All the latrines were found to be using a drop hole cover and, with a few exceptions, had a hand washing facility. The latrines offered privacy, dignity and safety.

The village is then declared open defecation free IODFI and awarded a certificate. The following chart shows how open defecation has been eradicated.

An additional water point was installed in a large village assisted in 2021, as the number of households in the village was causing the well to run dry at times of high demand. Where it was not possible to dig a borehole, using our manual borehole drill, because the ground was too stony, our team of well diggers supported the community to dig a well lor deepen an existing one) to a 3 or 4m water column depth, which minimises the risk of the wells drying in times of drought. After the well is dug. we construct a well apron and drain to provide a strong foundation, protect the well from surface run off and direct used water away from the well. All villagers now access water from a protected water source, and only about 80A take longer than 30 minutes for a return trip to the water point. We produced a video, edited down to one minute showing how we helped one person and her village move from obtaining water from an unprotected borehole at some distance from the village to the construction and launch of a new water point. Borehole at Chiwoko villa e Malawi- YouTube The video tells the story of Lydia, who is a farmer by occupation, earning about £15 1 month. She is married with one child. She had a long walk to collect water from an unprotected borehole until Water Works constructed a water point in her village, using a manual drill and installing a simple rope pump.
3.4 The Repair seiCe We conducted repairs for 13 water points and decommissioned I water point bringing the functionality status to 103 of 115 water points Inot decommissioned) functioning. There remained 12 villages not willing to repair the water point and pay for the spare parts. If the lack of interest remains in 2023, we will consider decommissioning these water points. Water Point Functionality and Water Quality PointswrthiJ&la FurtiO Pgrtlyfuncbot Notfunthonal 115 103 12 TrJDtFunttHLl To promote ownership of the project, the villagers are expected to make a financial contribution towards the construction programme. Villagers have very little money- average household income being just below £12 1 month. Accordingly, the villages were asked to pay an affordable amount 2000mwk l£1.801 for each household (excluding vulnerable households) - as a contribution towards the cost of the water point. This comes with a guarantee for the pump for one year. This money goes towards subsidising the Water Works repair service and kick-starts a monthly water collection system. Our team leader collected 831,000 MWK lapprox. £6821, plus another 133,OOOMWK lapprox. £1081 towards the repair of the previously constructed pumps. In addition, we expect the village water committee to set up a system of minimal monthly payments from the village water users to raise money for the pumps maintenance. Ww's project officer conducts a training session on the money collection system and how to use an accounting book. They are provided with a money box to keep the money safely. The committee are encouraged to buy spares, such as a rope and washers to carry out minor repairs. The significance of this funding is not the amount, which is small in terms of the overall funding of the project, but it instils a sense of ownership and it will help ensure the maintenance of the water pumps, when WW is no longer operating in the area.
3.5 Tree planting We planted about 400 forestry and 500 fruit trees in 6 village5 in 2020 and 12 villages in 2021. However, we did not plant any trees in 202213 owing to our fieldworker not being available at the start of the rainy season, when we had planned to distribute the trees. Our team leader conducted a survey in 2023 in 9 villages to monitor the survival rate, the results of which are recorded in the following table. Type of tree mango banana guava lemon pawpaw cacius total No. planted survival 231 86 90 55 54 395 911 260 43% 31% 59% 690 695 51% Whether or not the trees were flourishing varied between one household and one village and another, depending on whether they had been watered adequately and whether they had been protected from damage by animals, pests and disease. The survival rate in the worst performing village was only 13% and in the best 670A trees. The survey did not reveal the quality of the surviving trees. For example, while lemon had a relatively high survival rate, the quality of any fruit was not expected to be high. copse of acacia trees Banana tree io

Planned Activities for 2023 and beyond Having worked in the area served by the Chitedze and the neighbouring Mbwatalika Health Centres, where there is a total of 263 villages, for 10 years, we are now actively planning for terminating our programme to assist new villages over the next two or three years. Over half these villages, prior to Water Works intervention, did not have a safe source of drinking water. There are now just 19 more villages within the catchment area, which require assistance to meet their water and sanitation needs. Depending on the level of funding we obtain, we will continue to assist a cohort of villages from within this number. However, we are shifting our focus towards keeping previously constructed water points in good repair and encouraging the villagers to maintain good hygiene practice and prevent any relapse into open defecation. Each year, we carry out a functionality survey of previously constructed water points. WW pump technicians support villages to ensure that, as far as possible. all previously constructed water points Inot otherwise decommissioned) are functioning. We will now extend this programme to follow up on the village sanitation status and hygiene practice. We have noted over the years that water storage and food hygiene has not improved as much as latrine usage. We will engage two Health Surveillance Assistants for 3 days in each village to run a hygiene refresher programme which focuses on healthy homes with families being encouraged to adopt all the elements of a healthy household; clean water, proper sanitation, hygiene and healthy nutrition. In addition, we are introducing a session on women's health within the hygiene training package, the aim of which is to raise awareness about menstrual health and hygiene while at the same time breaking taboos about the subject. This will target adolescent girls and women onlv. li
Another key area of concern is the small number of hand washing facilities still in use and the absence of a latrine hole cover in many latrines. There will also be a need to relocate latrines. which are full. This will involve digging a new latrine pit, lining it with fire bricks, moving the latrine slab and constructing a new shelter and plastic roofing. Some latrine slabs. which are damaged. will need replacing. We will employ a team of two WW builders in each village for between one and two weeks, depending on the size of the village, to work alongside the householders to renovate the latrines. Our plan is to return to up to 50 villages over the next three years. We have secured funding of £15,000 from The Waterloo Foundation to contribute to this programme. We will resume the tree planting activity and have received advice that the best time to do this is around October to allow the saplings to become established before the heavy rains, which begin in December. Fruit trees will be distributed to individual households for them to consider locating them in disused latrine pits exploiting the nutrients left there. We have redesigned the channel from the water point into a two pronged fork so that saplings can be planted on either side to be irrigated by the run off water. 12

Financial Statements for the year ending 31st March 2023 Financial Review We are grateful to UKAID for the final instalment of £10,001 from the grant of £50,000 awarded in 2021 from the Small Charities Challenge Fund. We are a150 grateful to Kitchen Table for a grant of £6,OC(), which enable us to fund the project in two villages. The villagers themselves contributed £790 towards the cost of the rehabilitation and repair of the water points. which was raised by each household (excluding vulnerable households) in the 2022 cohort of villages paying a small affordable amount of approximately £1.50 plus older villages paying for the spare part5 of any repairs. Water Works received a large donation in 2022 of £6,200from McDuff International, raised from sales of Waterproof whisky. We also received generous donations from individuals. One such benefactor is Louise Sanderson, who, not only, has a monthly standing order to support Water Works, but is also raising donations occasional violin concerts. Water Works continues to offer excellent value for money with nearly 99h of funds being spent on project costs in Malawi. All our staff, including the programme manager are Malawian; thus avoiding the expense of international travel and subsistence involved in employing expatriates. Direct project payments for the year accounted for 24%1£13,1261 of total spend. which included the costs of the hygiene programme materials, construction materials, tools and transportation of the tools and materials. The remuneration of the Water Works team accounted for 50Y,1£26,6851, which was used to hire the programme manager, the project off icer, team leader, senior water point technician, 5 members of the construction team, 4 members of well digging teams and allowances for the health surveillance assistants who form the hygiene team. The indirect project payments totalled 19°A 1£9,9921, which included costs associated with charity registration in Malawi, in- country travel, international travel for project director, office rent and accommodation and office supplies. £3,016 16%) was spent this year within the project asset budget. which was for the purchase of a motor cycle, a major repair of the Toyota Hilux and mobile phones and power bank. Non-project administrative costs totalled just over 1% (£7001, which included website hostin financial services, and photobooks 16
