Drinking Water - Community
Hygiene Education

Before the well, obtaining water took a full day. Now it takes less than one hour to obtain water. The clean water is used for livestock, to bathe children, to wash clothes, and for eating and drinking. Children are able to go to school, while the adults have time to take care of livestock and younger children. Instances of diarrhea and other health problems have reduced significantly.

$410

The community agrees by contract to pay for maintenance costs. Each well committee collects approximately $250 per year for this purpose. In order to ensure well functionality and monitor its use, The Samburu Project spends approximately $160 per year per well. This comes from our general fund, which is maintained by individual donations.
