The trek to retrieve water initially took up to 9 hours because the location was far away and elephants often ruined the hand-dug well in the night. Warriors tried to use hand-dug wells, but these are very dangerous and women won't go in. Otherwise they had to walk 5 km.

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. |
