Funded by an anonymous donor, The Samburu Project will drill and install a shallow well equipped with a handpump in this community.

Narrative

This is a dry area. Access to clean drinking water is a nightmare. Women walk for long distances in search of water. Livestock die in huge numbers, especially during dry spells because of lack of water.

Once a well is drilled and the community has safe drinking water, the prevalence of waterborne diseases will decrease, distance to the water point will decrease significantly, and children will attend school rather than spending their time in dry riverbeds scooping water.

The water will be used for farming, drinking, washing, cooking and bathing as well as livestock usage.
