The work

Challenge, solution, outcome

Challenge

Reaching dispersed rural communities with dependable water means siting wells accurately across varied geology and equipping them to keep running with little local infrastructure.

Solution

Every village began with a geophysical survey to site the well on data, and we equipped boreholes with solar-powered pumps and trained local committees to maintain them.

Outcome

42 boreholes drilled and equipped to date, reaching an estimated 38,000 residents, with the programme ongoing.
