Background
The Safer Future Youth Development Project (SFYDP) is a legally registered non-profit, non-governmental, interdenominational and local organization geared towards positively changing the lives of the deprived and marginalized population. particularly the Youth. the SFYDP is located in the Western Area of Sierra Leone and educates the youth with specific and practical skills in a Technical and Vocational Institution.
In addition, the SFYDP is operating in other developmental programmes such as the establishment and maintenance of good water and sanitation systems, such as wells and rainwater harvesting tanks, the introduction and establishment of renewable energy technologies in the country, collaboration with other organizations in promoting developmental programmes such as health promotion, life skills development, peace building
The drinking water situation in Makambie is very poor. The inhabitants fetch their drinking water at unprotected groundwater wells, streams and other open water sources. This is not even certain as most of the water sources dries up during the the dry season. A major problem of all these water sources is the water contamination causing waterborne diseases. However, the community have no access to pure and clean drinking water.

Can you also add some labels and text to all the photos please?
I see 3 wells in the photos: are they all from the village? One is a shallow pit, one is covered, and the last 2 of a deep well that appears to have water.
If the last one is existing, what is the depth now? Will you be deepening it to 20m?

Thank-you Idriss. Will this project include a storage tank for rain water as I have seen in your other projects? I am trying to relate the construction of a well site to the 70 bags of cement in the budget.

The project will not include a storage tank for rain water. It is a single project for only one Water well.
For the 70bags of cement you mentioned, It will be used as follows:
-The Well Diameter is 1.8288m
-The Depth could be 20m + or - depending on the location which has to be lined with 5inches thick concrete.

Instead of posting (or emailing) the design and details, you can attach it to the application so the rest of us can also see, review, and learn.

I also think it would be advisable to see the technical approach. How deep, what type of well, digging, drilling etc.
Please give us some details on this. Thanks.

-The Diameter is 1.8288m
-The Depth could be 20m and above depending to the Location/Area which normally determines the level of the water table.

The technique seems to be viable and appropriate. The capacity of Safer Future to facilitate projects and trigger self-help by communities is well known.

The approach for this project is good, but responsiveness of the organization on this platform needs to be better and we need reports from the older projects to see how long term impacts take place.
