This project will build 2 groundwater well with a submersible pump powered by solar panels to provide clean and potable WATER for Jaweychimana and Maliru Wayuu communities in the desert in ALL seasons where approximately 240 kids and adults live. Access to clean water prevents waterborne diseases and provides a very special tool to prevent COVID-19 and to cultivate crops.
Jaweychimana and Maliru Wayuu communities are located in the middle of the desert, la Guajira with just one well for 150 people including kids. The well that they have gives water just 1 hour in the dry season, which occupies more than half of the year. It doesn't provide even the minimum allocation of water, 20 liters per person per day according to WHO. The community is also at risk of waterborne diseases.
We will provide 2 groundwater well with a submersible pump powered by solar panels one for Jaweychimana community and one Maliru Wayuu community. With your help, 1 solar pump will provide 30,000 liters of water every day which can provide 250 liters per person per day for 120 people in each community, which exceeds the recommended amount of water by WHO, 50 liters per person per day.
A Groundwater well with a submersible pump power permits every member of the community to reduce time to get water for everybody in 30 min, which allows kids to go school who couldn't go to school because of domestic chores. Furthermore, it helps to get good food security for the community to provide water for agriculture. We as a foundation are planning community farms for nutrition and food security, it will be a key to the success of agriculture.
