Water · Christmas 2026

The nearest clean water is across the M1. Help bring it closer.

A water system on their side of the road means children no longer cross Malawi’s main highway with a bucket.

Why the M1 matters

In Kasese, central Malawi, some families’ nearest clean water sits on the far side of the M1, the highway that runs the length of the country.

Children cross it with buckets, between passing trucks, to bring that water home. When the walk is too far, families drink from closer sources that are not safe.

This Christmas, Orant Charities is raising funds with Orant Charities Africa for a water system on their side of the road.
