| Most of the health problems throughout the third world are water-related. This is especially true in the rural areas of Malawi, Africa where the people suffer from dysentery and other water-borne diseases. Most of the villages depend on surface water collected from open ponds and water holes. The Synod of Livingstonia, Church of Central Africa Presbyterian, has a goal of making safe water available to everyone - even those in the most remote areas of Malawi. In 1990, missionary Jim McGill approached Marion Medical Mission with a way to provide safe water to villages using shallow wells that are sealed against surface pollution. The first year, Marion Medical Mission installed 13 wells. Since then the number has increased to the point that they have installed over 3500 wells by 2004. These wells provide well over 800,000 people with safe water. Tom Logan 1412 Shawnee Drive Marion, IL 62959 618-997-5365 www.marionmedical.org tommylogan@aol.com |
