We work on the basis of Inspiration, Education and Challenge, without handouts
We believe in poor people and recognize their ability to do the seemingly impossible with a little help

Our approach is to support communities, with their plans
We believe that water and sanitation, are the key to all development and that problems must be solved locally
We search out partners who share our vision
We promise nothing we can’t achieve
We believe we owe it to the communities we serve, our volunteers, staff, and donors to act with integrity and manage our resources effectively and efficiently, at all times
All we do is with passion and heart
We are constantly reviewing and adapting our approach to make sure that our work is sustainable, innovative, relevant and environmentally friendly
We believe that a combination of hope and inspiration is unstoppable
We promote sustainable agriculture without using artificial fertilizer or chemical pesticides
We are fully committed to sharing our pumps and expertise with all collaborators who share our commitment to achieving the MDG’s for our WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) programme
Even though we work mainly with women’s groups, our reach is universal
We are committed to full transparency, so all our visitors, volunteers, and placements have access to all our projects at all times
We do not permit people – except students – to fundraise in the name of WfZ to fund their volunteering in Malawi
