Stephanie Ng's Visit- May 2012
As we were walking towards this well, Juma informed me that this well was drilled to service the children in the community, in particular the students at WAMBA DEB Primary School. During the drought season, even people from town (to be distinguished from community members from nearby villages) come to this well to get water since water is very scarce in town and is rationed. After a few minutes of arriving at the well, a group of young children joined us. Though none of them were old enough to answer any of our questions, it was worthwhile just to see their joy in being able to pump clean water and to see them quenching their thirst. I could see that this well has no problems (Paul and Juma confirmed this) and that it requires very little force on the part of the children to pump the water up – from where I stood it looked like the kids were having fun pumping the hand pump up and down and were vying for their turn to pump.
