Guyo, leader of the Watha Project in Kenya, recently gave a progress report on digging for wells in the villages. Here is what he said:
“The water surveyor visited the site and spotted where the drilling needs to take place. As earlier agreed upon we shall start with one village with one well pump. We chose Garsemuke/Bombi village for starters and plan to move to other villages when funds become available.”
Guyo also decided on the company who will dig the well, the well’s location, and how community members will help with the project. Here’s what he wrote about the location and the role that community members will play: “Bombi shopping center is just within the village and the majority of the people around are Watha. We had agreed earlier with the local community that they will contribute by providing local materials that are available, e.g. sand and ballast, and they will assist by mobilizing and ferrying these materials to the site. This is one way they will own the project.”
GRACE Cares is proud of Guyo’s work so far and we look forward to sending you future updates as developments occur.
