Using hand drilling is a hard, physical process that needs persistence, particularly if you we meet hard rock. Then it delays us by many days. We generally drill to around 33m to ensure that water is available year round, even at the end of the dry season.
At Mwitiri Primary School this meant drilling through several meters of hard rock which slowed us down and meant we continually had to repair the end of the drill bit, but for rural locations like this with very limited funds it is the only way to get to water.
And thankfully, due to your donations Mwitiri Primary School now have clean water on site, meaning they no longer need to walk long distances to fetch water. This is already improving their performance.
So thank you again for your generosity. We have many similar schools still lacking water so if you are able to contribute again it would be very much appreciated.
With gratitude
Benedicto
