A water pump in Liwonde, Machinga. The waste of water due to badly fixed screws in the pump makes this place a suitable one for mosquitoes to spread, what also helps spreading malaria. Stagnant waters as well as the rains in the rainy season are major causes for water-borne diseases. Rains sweep the land and take wastes (over all human and animal ones) to the water sources, causing diseases.
