SUPPORT FIELDWATER

Help make
water work.

Local partners bring the knowledge.
Your support helps us follow through.

Give to FIELDWATER to support assessments, repairs, follow-up and the operations that make the work possible. Partnerships like BASEDA’s help us understand where that support can be useful.

PARTNER FUNDRAISING AIM

$100,000 USD

BASEDA’s request to restore eight existing water systems in Chikwawa and Dedza.

Partner proposal, October 2026. Individual scopes and budgets are being agreed. This is a funding aim, not money already raised.

Give through FIELDWATER to help advance partner-led work. Gifts support our work flexibly across partners and necessary operations.

Where the Malawi work stands

BASEDA has proposed eight systems. Individual scopes, budgets and delivery plans are still being developed. We’ll share agreed work and results as they become available.

THE PARTNERSHIP

Local leadership.
A wider circle
of support.

Repair is only one part of dependable water. The proposed approach connects technical work, community management and the ability to maintain a system after the repair.

Local context matters. As the programme develops, we’ll share residents’ and local teams’ perspectives, with their permission, alongside evidence of the work. The photographs above introduce proposed sites; they do not establish water quality or completed repairs.

FOLLOW THE WORK

Understand the need.
Then agree the work.

01 / UNDERSTAND

Start with the systems.

BASEDA’s proposed sites give us a starting point. Local priorities, technical assessment and maintenance needs shape what comes next.

02 / AGREE

Define a practical scope.

Responsibilities, costs and delivery plans need to be agreed before work begins. No repair start date is announced yet.

03 / FOLLOW THROUGH

Test. Document. Follow up.

We’ll report completed work with the available testing, maintenance and follow-up evidence.

YOUR GIFT / CLEAR TERMS

Support FIELDWATER.
Know where it goes.

Donations support FIELDWATER’s work with local partners, including assessments, repairs, follow-up and necessary operations. Gifts are flexible support, not earmarked to one partner or system. Partner funding requests describe the work we aim to support; they are not amounts raised or guarantees of delivery.

Choose monthly or one-time giving. Monthly gifts are charged today and each month until canceled; manage or cancel online. FIELDWATER covers payment processing fees and emails your acknowledgment. No goods or services are provided in exchange.
