Improved sanitation has been an ancillary benefit of community water availability. 2,400
Water is the foundation from which all things grow. We expect that this community will receive many benefits beyond access to clean, safe drinking water. Drinking Water - Community
Drinking Water - Households
In the Sordo Namunyak community, women and children walk up to 8 km in search of water. Children do not attend school as they are following their mothers in this quest for water. Waterborne diseases are common in this community. The community will benefit from a well in a number of ways: enhancement of livelihoods through farming, access to water for domestic purposes as well as livestock, educational opportunities as children will have time to go to school, and time for women to engage in other businesses and take care of their children. The well will also provide a wonderful community meeting point. $0
A well committee has been established to create and maintain a community fund, ensure proper management of the well, and communicate with TSP if any issues arise. During site selection, members of the greater community were in dispute as to where the well should be located as each group wanted the well to be close to their own homes. They ultimately agreed upon a central location for the well. |
