#NGOs are often judged by how much they spend 💰💸 The more, the better! But does #spending more always mean greater impact? Does spending less sometimes achieve more? 🤔 "Spend It or Lose It" premieres in ONE HOUR (11AM CAT today) ⏳🎬 Find it here: baseflowmw.org/stop-waste

New project. New #budget. New #water infrastructure. But what happens to what is already there? "Spend It or Lose It", our short #film, explores what happens when pressure to spend meets reality. Watch it this coming Thurs: baseflowmw.org/stop-waste @RuralWaterNet | @WesNetworkMw

Good work doesn’t always go: plan → success Sometimes it goes: plan → try → learn → change → try again. That middle part matters too.

What happens when spending becomes the measure of success?🤔 In rural #water supply, pressure to spend 🤑sometimes creates unintended consequences 🫨 Our short film, Spend It or Lose It, explores one of them. Coming next week. More here: baseflowmw.org/stop-waste @RuralWaterNet

When a borehole fails☹️, the driller often gets the blame. But if we want wells that don't run dry 💧, investing in drillers matters👷👨‍🔧. Read more here: baseflowmw.org/story/better-… @WhoGivesACrapTP | @WesNetworkMw | @RuralWaterNet

A spreadsheet can tell you what changed. A local leader can often tell you why. You probably want both in the room.

Building the next generation of female hydrogeologists takes more than talk. This week, our team is in South Africa 🇿🇦and Kenya 🇰🇪, strengthening their skills in #groundwater management and leadership. The next generation comes with out-of-office messages. 🤣🌍💧 #womeninSTEM

Falling interest rates don't only affect investors. They also affect how #climate resilience is financed. Read how our borehole #insurance model adapted to changing economic conditions and what this means for the future of rural #water services: baseflowmw.org/story/shockpr…

Several handpumps are non-functional in #Malawi. Now we want more sophisticated solar-powered piped #water systems. Are we ready to maintain them? Our Team Leader argues this isn't about 'old vs new tech'. Read the blog: baseflowmw.org/story/ambitio… @RuralWaterNet | @WesNetworkMw

#Groundwater recharge isn't optional if #Malawi is to avert a deepening #water crisis. Rather than reinvent, we learn from those already doing the work. Together w/ @selfhelpafrica, we recently visited sand dams . Here's what we learned: baseflowmw.org/story/when-th… @ShockwaveFound

💧 Failed boreholes = #Water banks 4 in 5 Malawians depend on #groundwater, yet thousands of boreholes are abandoned. We're converting them into recharge wells, directing rainfall back into the aquifers. Find out more about our pilot site 👇 baseflowmw.org/story/from-st… @sadc_gmi

When floods rise, water points fail, but not this time. This is what #resilience looks like. Scan the QR code or go to baseflowmw.org/donate to help us build more flood-proof handpumps for communities who need them most.

We are thrilled to be co-author on this latest publication in Public Library Of Science (PLOS) Water. Key Message: Unless we properly understand and manage #groundwater, efforts to build #climate resilient #water systems will fail. @WesNetworkMw | @sadc_gmi | @WASH_MALAWI |

Safe water, sanitation and hygiene are not luxuries—they are essential for health, education, gender equality and economic growth.

It was an ordinary meeting in Thyolo. Boreholes. Budgets. Workplans. Then her phone vibrated. She almost ignored it. Good thing she didn't. Read the story here 👉 baseflowmw.org/story/once-up…
