Water For People has been working in Malawi
since 2000. In 2006, we changed our strategy
from working on small projects in widespread
areas to concentrating efforts in three regions:
peri-urban Blantyre and the rural districts of
Chikwawa and Rumphi. Since its start, Water
For People-Malawi has become a leader in the
water and sanitation sector in the country,
promoting innovative and sustainable
approaches to water and sanitation services.

EVERYONE FOREVER

Everyone Forever is a unique programmatic
effort to provide improved water and sanitation
to Everyone in targeted districts and
municipalities, Forever. It means these districts
and communities never need another
international water agency to address their
water challenges again. It also provides a
model for greater replication, promoting a
national movement towards full water and
sanitation coverage.

Water For People-Malawi is focusing its
Everyone Forever efforts in peri-urban Blantyre
and rural Chikwawa. Lasting water and
sanitation solutions can only be achieved when
local players — the private sector, civil society,
and local government — are supported. As
such, Water For People-Malawi is deeply
involved with key local stakeholders, including
the Blantyre Water Board and City Assembly,
the Chikwawa district assembly, local NGOs,
private sector business development service
providers, and the University of Malawi-
Polytechnic.

In an effort to expand Everyone Forever beyond
Water For People-Malawi?s core districts, we
have partnered with the Water and
Environmental Sanitation Network of Malawi,
an umbrella organization for all non-
governmental organizations working in the
water and sanitation sector, to spread the
Everyone Forever mission.

We have also partnered with Ministry of Irrigation and Water Development-Southern Region Office to
replicate the Everyone Forever model in seven
other southern region districts. These districts
are: Blantyre Rural, Chiradzulu, Zomba, Nsanje,
Phalombe, Mulanje and Thyolo which are part
of the Shire basin. Work will begin with
mapping all water points in the districts and
developing Everyone Forever plans.
