This well is salty and not suitable for human consumption. Therefore, the community uses it to water their livestock and this is very beneficial to this community as their livelihood and sustenance is based the animals they keep.

Sustainability Plan Creating and measuring long-term impact

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.
