Funded by Blue Planet Network, The Samburu Project will drill and install a well in the Golgoltim community.

Narrative

The Lower Sordo Well (D2W6) drilled in 2007 was washed away after a flash flood in May 2012. As nature would have it, since drilling the well in 2007, the river diverted. Over the last couple of years, the community worked tirelessly to protect their well, but unfortunately the flash flood in May was unstoppable. The Samburu Project is committed to providing clean water to this community and therefore we are drilling a well in Golgoltim which is just across the riverbed.

With the well in Lower Sordo gone, the women have to walk three hours each way to find water.

Nine sites were surveyed before finding a viable location.
