Villagers in Ambala were delighted to finally receive clean drinking water in February 2017 thanks to the generous donations of supporters! A borehole 13.8 metres deep was put-in-place and installed with a Canzee hand-pump. This will benefit the village population of 193 as well as the school - 180 pupils (98 boys and 82 girls) and 4 teachers.
2 local technicians were identified and trained-up during drilling work. They will receive a follow-up training in due course so as to ensure they are fully capable of borehole maintenance and repair work. In addition, a water management association comprising 7 committee members was created. They were trained, along with the local technicians, from the 21st to 23rd February in community management of water infrastructure.
Everyone is thrilled that they no longer have to fetch contaminated water. The nearby village of Talaky are impatient for it to also be their turn! Please continue your support to enable us to start work there too!
