Water

It is estimated that over half the country’s population rely on unreliable and often polluted water sources, many having to walk for many hours each day just to collect water for their family. 

One of the greatest gifts we can give people anywhere is the gift of fresh clean water and safe sanitation.  Improvements in sanitation facilities and basic hygiene can also have a dramatic effect on health, particularly amongst children.

We are currently involved in a major project to bring clean water to 300 villages in the North Region of the country, providing clean water to 120,000 people.

It costs approximately £1,000 to rehabilitate a broken well - supplying a new pump, flushing, cleaning and chlorinating the system, and training local craftsmen in maintenance.
