Nyinampong is lucky enough to have found a donor to ‘mechanise’ its borehole The water will be pumped up by electricity into overhead tanks, and then it can be accessed by simply turning on a tap. The photos show the overhead platforms which the tanks will sit on. There’s a road down the middle of […]

The photo shows the school we’ve just built for the little farming village of Esereso and the homemade structure that served as a school before. When the Chief first learned that we were offering to build a school, he made a long speech. He said that now he wished he was a child again. His […]

They managed to locate good places to drill for water in each village, but the question remains as to whether the water is too deep.
