Improved sanitation has been an ancillary benefit of community water availability. 540
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
The distance this community currently walks for water is very far. There are reported cases of waterborne diseases in this community caused by the consumption of dry water from hand-dug wells. The community will benefit from a reduced distance to the water point, women's health will improve (back issues, miscarriage) and children will have enough time to attend school. The well water will be used for farming, domestic purposes and livestock. As seen in the photos that accompany the Site Survey Questionnaire, this community currently gets water from a 10-ft. deep hand-dug well. Two weeks ago, a community member accidentally fell into the hole and seriously injured his spine. He is still undergoing treatment at the Catholic Hospital Wamba. Their current water source is the Ewaso Nyiro River, 8 km away from the village. $0
