Bring water to health clinic, 500 villagers in CAR

Thank you again to everyone who donated to this water infrastructure project for our maternal and child health center in the Central African Republic (CAR). I'm happy to report that almost all of the work has been completed, with the remaining finishing touches coming next week.

On November 11th, the team began digging the well and was able to finish the installation of the well infrastructure and pump on November 21st. The well was dug at a depth of 50 meters where high-quality water is in abundance. Upon finishing the well, the nearby villagers came to the health center to taste the water and were pleased by how good it tastes!

The construction team arrived at the health center on the 21st to begin work on the infrastructure upgrades needed before our health activities can start. The team finished the water tower on December 5th, and next week we will be able to mount the two 3000 liter water tanks. On December 2nd, the plumber and his team arrived at the health center and over the following three days installed the indoor plumbing, including five handwashing sinks, two larger sinks, pipes, and a drainage pit. The team also installed the connections for the water tanks to link with the well's pump and the health center, and those will be secured when the water tanks have been mounted.

We are one step closer to being able to open this maternal and child health clinic - thank you again for your support!

If you'd like to follow the rest of our activities here in CAR, please sign-up for our newsletter at the bottom of our home page www.senitizo.org. Things are just getting started here!

Thanks again for your generosity, and I look forward to staying in touch.

Sincerely,

Ted Hooley
