A New Well

Mzgora, Northern Malawi, 16.36 this evening.
The new well is almost ready to fit the new Canzee pump.
The well is about 6 metres deep, dug by hand and brick lined.
They all look a little smug and proud of their achievement.
The unfinished brucks at the front will provide a run off for any spilled water irrigate to some fruit trees to be planted later.
The brick pillar (which is still 2 courses too low!!) is a little addition we have which enables the women to first lift the buckets on to it before the final lift on to their heads.
Before this the first lift was on to their knees and backbreaking.
Well done Harisen and the gang.
