The women used to draw water 5 km away behind the mountain. Now the well is very near to their home. Community members said they would have died in the drought without the well. $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. |
