We are a Malawian-led NGO and Social Enterprise working at the intersection of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) to make groundwater, an invisible resource, visible.
Founded in 2017, BASEflow is dedicated to principles of holistic and inclusive groundwater management.
We promote practices and policies that seek to guarantee groundwater for future generations.
Our work is being recognised
OUR VISION
A world where no well runs dry
OUR MISSION
To improve groundwater sustainability for rural populations to access safe drinking water through strengthening of government and community systems to effectively monitor, manage, develop, and harness groundwater for improved livelihoods and resilience
OUR CORE VALUES
BOLDNESS
From research to action, we take calculated risks to address groundwater challenges that few attempt to tackle
INNOVATION
We seek out new technologies and approaches as we cultivate new ways of thinking to find replicable solutions
PRAGMATISM
We do not hesitate to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty to work with partners to solve problems
SUSTAINABILITY
We believe in a balanced approach with community collaboration and adaptive strategies to address current and future groundwater needs
TRANSPARENCY
We are open with everything we do and proactively share information as we seek out opportunities to collaborate
OUR IMPACT
At BASEflow, we believe that real impact starts with people — with communities who are empowered, water sources that are sustained, and solutions that are rooted in local realities. Our work is grounded in practical innovation and lasting change, and these numbers reflect more than just progress — they represent lives improved, resources preserved, and systems strengthened.
