We are excited to move into the 5th year of the Water Well Project which aims to supply water to families in villages where water is scarce and streams are contaminated. Every year, we hope to be able to send resources for wells to be dug and installed. In 4 years, 31 wells have been dug in villages across lower Sagaing division. Supplying good, clean water to families, children in schools and livestock. The result of having drinkable water has been tremendous. We are determined to continue to do whatever we can, with whatever we have, to see water be more accessible to people, especially in hard to reach areas.
This year, our field partner Andrew will take on an additional region, known as Magway. He has been approached by people from a village, prone to cholera outbreaks, in need of a water well. This and 9 other locations have been identified for water wells this year.
The cost of a water well averages out to be USD280. Each well is shared among 15-25 families. The wells are closed which means that water drawn is clean and drinkable. Water wells are built using durable materials, such as concrete and stainless steel pipes which will last for a very long time.
We invite you to partner with us for Water Well Project 2012. There is no gift too small.
Blessings!
