As the year began, so was our well #31, the deepest of all our previous wells. The well is over seventy feet deep and soon the community around it will enjoy lasting clean safe water, a luxury they never had before and least dreamt of.
After weeks of intense digging by hand, along with many prayers, water has been found eventually and now its building is underway with its completion and commissioning expecting soon. This well is located in a very remote location further from the nearest water source.
When accomplished, women and children will be eased from the burden of searching for water for miles and also do away with common waterborne diseases characterized by water from open sources.
On the other hand, we are thankful that our well digging team is safe and sound given that such depths can be deprived of oxygen which is fatal. Hand dug with no modern day equipment, not even a flashlight, as our well worker goes deeper and deeper into the earth’s surface. This is truly not for the faint of heart or the claustrophobic! We are thankful we hit water and everyone was safe!
