As mentioned in our last report, we have begun the transtiion from hand pump wells to fully-mechanized, solar-powered wells. All future funds raised will go toward these new water systems, which make collecting clean, safe water a much less burdensome task for women and girls in the villages we serve. With this transition comes a slight increase in the cost of funding water for a whole village. Our cost for a hand pump well was $6,100, and the cost for a well tap is $6,300. Given the dramatic improvement in quality of life that a mechanized well offers, we think that's a great deal!
Attached, you can see a few photos of some of the final hand pump wells that you have helped to fund.
