The main objective of the project is to provide clean, safe drinking water. 0

Improved sanitation has been an ancillary benefit of community water availability. 700
The well has made the community much more resistant to drought. Instead of watching their livestock die from lack of access to water, community members can water their animals at the well in times of drought. Instead of having to make long journies, women now have time to go the market, tend to livestock and do domestic chores such as building houses. Drinking Water - Community
Sanitation - Community
Women formerly had to walk from 6am to 12pm! Now the well is less than 10 minutes away. $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. |
