Hi Everybody!
Welcome to the first update of our deep water pump appeal.
The rains have come it is the great Indian monsoon and the rains this year have been better than the previous few years which is great news for everyone.
Finding a really good source of deep clean water away from the rivers is quite a task. We want to thank Ellen and her friends in the Netherlands for donating enough to start boring for the first pump in the village Dadpur, a desperately poor community where a source of new clean water will bring huge benefits to the whole community especially to the women who have to fetch it and the children to whom a source of good clean water (we test it thoroughly) is so important.
After several false dry starts we are so happy to report we have now hit a deep underground reservoir of clean healthy water and the first pump should be up and running within the next month so please look out for the photos on our next GlobalGiving update and our Facebook page.
Here is what Divya a village woman (name changed) with four children has to say,
“Now we have to walk so far to fetch drinkable water, well even that water is not so clean. The burden the daily burden of carrying the pots on our heads especially in the summer is almost unbearable, when we saw the water finally gushing out from the ground right in our village we cried with joy, thank you so much for helping all of us”
Divya
Thank you again
$750 will provide a good source of clean water for a whole village
