I am thrilled to be able to tell you that construction has begun on the solar-powered mechanized water system in Kouroungoussao that you helped make possible. As you'll see in the attached photos, water engineers successfully located and tapped an aquifer near the health clinic. At the link below, you can see safe, clean water spouting from the newly drilled borehole. In the coming months, that water will be piped to various rooms in the health clinic and to a tap stand outside the clinic that can be accessed by anyone living in the village of Kouroungoussao. Thanks to your support, this water system will transform the lives of everyone in the village as well as thousands of people in the surrounding area who will access care at the clinic. I am hopeful that our next update will include photos of the completed project!
Finally, I am very happy to be able to share that we are almost halfway to the $50,000 needed to fully fund a water system for a fifth health care facility in rural Niger. Please consider supporting this effort and delivering the life-saving gift of safe water to another rural health clinic and surrounding village. Our goal is to have this project fully funded by the end of the summer, and your support is crucial to achieving that goal!
With thanks for your past support,
Kate
