Residents of Chiradzulu Nyungwe Constituency are set to benefit from a major water intervention, as more than 100 broken boreholes have been earmarked for urgent rehabilitation by Pacific Limited Company—an initiative expected to significantly ease the persistent challenge of access to safe and clean water.
The development, confirmed by Faisal Aboo, Founder and Managing Director of Pacific Limited Company, underscores the firm’s continued commitment to improving livelihoods through sustainable water solutions. Aboo emphasized that access to potable water is not merely a basic need, but a cornerstone for building healthy, productive communities.
“We understand that clean water is life. Without it, communities struggle with health challenges and reduced productivity. That is why we have taken it upon ourselves to intervene where the need is greatest,” Aboo said.
Pacific Limited’s intervention is not new to Malawians. The company has already rehabilitated over 9,000 boreholes across the country—an impressive footprint that highlights both its capacity and dedication. However, Aboo acknowledged that despite these efforts, the demand for safe water remains overwhelming, calling for stronger partnerships between the private sector, government, and development stakeholders.
The project in Chiradzulu Nyungwe is part of the company’s ongoing work in the area, which began in 2025. The planned repairs—expected to be completed by next week—are anticipated to restore reliable water access to thousands of households, reducing the burden on women and children who often walk long distances in search of water.
Local leadership has warmly welcomed the initiative. Mwayi Ndalama, Member of Parliament for Chiradzulu Nyungwe Constituency, described the development as timely and transformative.
“This is a commendable gesture that will go a long way in addressing the water crisis affecting our communities. Access to clean water is critical for health, sanitation, and overall development,” said Ndalama.
The rehabilitation of these boreholes is expected to have a ripple effect—improving hygiene, reducing waterborne diseases, and supporting economic activities at household level.
As Malawi continues to grapple with infrastructure gaps in rural water supply, initiatives like those led by Pacific Limited Company are proving to be vital lifelines. Their work not only restores water points but also restores dignity, hope, and opportunity for communities long affected by water scarcity.
With momentum building, stakeholders are hopeful that such interventions will inspire broader collaboration, ensuring that no community is left behind in the quest for safe and accessible water.
