Myra’s Wells has drilled six more wells

16th December 2016 by mark

Myra’s Wells has drilled more wells in Burkina Faso

Myra’s Wells has drilled wells to provided clean water in six more locations during the last month. We are planning four more in the near future. These wells will provide for people and their livestock.

More details will be available in due course, but at these sites where we have found water, the usual testing is underway before the pump will be installed. We may not be able to pronounce the names of these villages, but we know that the people living in them will appreciate the clean water that the wells will provide for them. As water is needed for the livestock of the villages, many existing sources of water are not clean. The wells drilled by the Myra’s Wells team ensure that water supplies are clean and suitable for the people to use.

Laado Laado Laro Farm

Laado Peulh

This is a village 100km from the capital Ouagadougou, in the Pibaore department, where the well is 87 metres deep supplying an amazing 2700 litres of water per hour. The drilling team found water at the first attempt.

Bendogo

A village 100km from Ouagadougou in Ganzourgou province where the well is 65 metres deep. It will provide water for the population of about 1000 people and their cattle. Water for the cattle is as important as water for the people.

Nagerforrinni

A village near Bogande in the eastern part of the country. The well is 85 metres deep and supplies 1200 litres of water per hour.

Kuni

The well is in a village near to this town. We have no details yet on the depth or flow.

Viou

This is a village in the Tanghin-Dassouri region. The depth is 55 metres and the flow is very good at 2400 litres per hour. Again, the first attempt was successful in locating water.

Silmiougou

About 1000 people live in this village in the province of Ganzourgou. One attempt provided a well 78 metres deep producing 1700 litres of water per hour.

Who are we?

Our charity provides life-saving water wells in Burkina Faso – one of the poorest countries in West Africa. A few places do have mains water, but even that supply lacks purity.
100% of donations received go to pay for wells. The Trustees in the UK and Burkina Faso receive no remuneration for their work. The salaries of the two administrative staff employed in Burkina Faso are paid by the UK Trustees, or using funds specifically donated for this purpose.
