Be A Part Of Africa Vital Living’s 2022 Impact

For 2022, Africa Vital Living plans to make a bold impact in the warm heart of Africa–Malawi.  With your generous contribution towards our capital goal of $25,000, our plans are to accomplish the following:

  • Continue farming soy beans and potatoes on the land acquired during 2021.  In 2021, we not only purchased the land but we also installed an irrigation system to supply water to the crop during the dry season.
  • Continue repairs to 10 existing damaged water wells in villages in the Lilongwe and Chiwamba areas of Malawi.  Each repair generally runs between $100-1000 which covers the site review and installation/repair of the well pump hardware.
  • Install 100 school desks across 4 identified schools in the Chiwamba area of Malawi.  Each desk costs $50 which covers the construction and delivery.

Our Impact – Delivering School Desks – June 2016

In June 2016, I contracted with Phynnly Masiku to have twenty (20) desks built and delivered to an elementary school in the Chiwamba area.  We were thrilled with quality and finish of the desks and the students were surprised and thrilled to receive the desks.

Repairing Water Wells

A number of years ago the government of Malawi undertook a project of drilling water wells in villages throughout the country.  During this process they put all of the infrastructure in place for wells including the piping and and pumps.  While this initial effort was well funded by the United Nations, no provision was made to maintain the wells after the inital drilling and set-up so over the transition of time, many of these wells have fallen into disrepair and need parts and maintenance in order to provide the life giving water just below the surface.  

Your donation will have to by spare parts to repair these wells through the homeland.  Some wells require minimal repairs as simple as an inexpenssive O-ring while other wells need more extensive repairs or upgrades. Your generous donation to our repair fund will help us to make life changing repairs to these wells.
