Streghthening WASH SYSTEMS
In Isolated and Forgotten Villages.


Bulding the Village Rig Drilling Crew
OWV uses light-moveable drilling rigs and a network of trained village drillers that are turning unserviciable isolated villages into new markets for safe water distribution in rural Malawi.

Creating Safe Water Infrastructures
We install long-lasting water points using light drilling rigs, bringing safe water closer to families and the routines that depend on it.

Building Capacities of Water Users
We work with families to build local leadership through Water User Associations, ensuring safe water systems are cared for and sustained.

Building Local Repair Service
OWV uses a business approach that train rural youths to become qualified WASH Artisans who provides repair services for WASH infrastuctures ensuring a long-term presence of repair services on demand and supply basis in isolated villages.
