Install water wells for the village, livestock, and crops

Presently, people living in the village and the surrounding areas are using a hand pump well about 1.5 miles away from our land. The pump works for about 1 hour and then is unusable for 2-3 hours. Out of impatience, many in the community resort to pulling their drinking water from the swamp next to our land. The water is unclean and unsafe, but often is the only available source. Typhoid and other gastrointestinal disorders are prevalent.

We need a borehole well, preferably solar powered and mechanized, that can service all of the needs of our current and future village needs. We would also like to install an additional well at the edge of the land to service the surrounding villagers. The cost for the large well with a solar-powered pump will be $27,000 USD. The smaller hand-pump well costs around $12,000 USD.

We are working with the Ugandan Water Project, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, to conduct surveys of the land and install our wells in the most accessible and productive sections of our land. The effect of this well will not only save lives, but will provide a consistent source of clean water for survival, hygiene, livestock and crops for years to come.

We need your support! You can make a tax-deductible donation directly through the Ugandan Water Project website under our project’s page at the link below.
