Steven Zulu and Hastings Mbewe made a new borehole on top of the hill near to the house and far from the toilet. Mrs. Tembo has difficulties walking and is very happy with this new water source. Also the neighbours use the water. Since the pump is on top of the hill, is easy to irrigate his garden which is downhill. The pump was made by George Chulu. Good work men!
