Every time I sit down to share these updates with you, I’m reminded of the joy and hope behind this work. August has been full of life-changing moments—from new wells flowing to children finding safety and health again. I can’t wait for you to see the difference your support is making.
Update from the Field:
In August, we focused on reaching villages in the most dire situations. Four communities were assessed, all confirming the critical challenges they face daily, so they each will be receiving a WWFA water well in the near future.
Meanwhile, our drilling team was working on current projects and didn't waste any time completing 13 news wells across multiple districts. Each well is a lifeline, already changing the day-to-day lives of families.
In other news, the Blossom Project at Chilumba Primary School is steadily advancing, creating safer spaces for students on their school property.
Cholera Is Gone and So Is the Long Walk for Water in Butwa
For years, Butwa’s only water source was a dangerous river that caused illness and hardship. Since April 2025, a new WWFA well has changed everything—ending cholera outbreaks, sprouting gardens, and giving families time to spark bigger dreams.
Discover how Butwa is transforming with every pump of clean water.

As we look toward drilling as many boreholes as possible before the rainy season, I just want to pause and say thank you. Because of you, families who once struggled for water now have space to dream, grow, and thrive. What a gift to be part of their story together.
With heartfelt thanks,
Brittany
