In our last report we had to convey the bad news that the pipeline to the Village had frozen and broken and that the flow of water had been interrupted. We are now able to report Great News!
A long-time and very generous donor has made a major donation to the Water Project. This donation will enable us to rebuild the pipeline this summer. We are moving forward on the rebuilding with two major foci. First, the village leaders are working with suppliers to make sure that the new pipeline will be constructed of the highest quality materials that can withstand the harsh environment. Second, the engineers assisting on the project are making sure that the pipe is buried far deeper this time around, ensuring that it is well below the frost line and not in danger of freezing.
Thanks to the generosity of this major donor, we are able, with the support of our friends in the Global Giving community, to focus on the next stage of the original Water Project and move forward with our plans to bring clean water to the surrounding area.
The people of the Village continue to send their thanks and appreciation to their friends on the other side of the world; friends who have not abandoned them, but have actually increased their support of a project that is changing their lives every day.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
