Water Supply




A school needs water.  As we researched the problem of water supply, we received estimates of $25000 to dig a deep borehole that could provide the school with an adequate supply of water.  Next to the school there is a fairly shallow, hand dug well but we were assured that it couldn't supply enough water to supply the school.  We purchased the small plot that contained this well. 







Mbali had his workers deepen this hand dug well by about ten feet.  When they did, they discovered a plentiful supply of clean water, enough to supply the entire school.   The water problem was solved for less than $2000, including the cost of building a small water tower and installing a water tank.
