REDONDO BEACH, Calif.—When Kurt Dahlin first arrived in the landlocked Southern African nation of Malawi in 1994, it was listed as one of the most challenged countries on the Human Development Index, an analysis tool used by the United Nations to identify countries with more humanitarian needs.

“Our operations at Water Wells for Africa have come a long ways since the early days,” Mr. Dahlin, 72, president and founder of the nonprofit, told The Epoch Times. “You cannot improve global suffering without accessible water—or improve anything without water for that matter.”
