We have these four videos of the new well. Please excuse the low resolution! The tower has been installed and the taps are being used. The decision to drill here was easy following a visit to the village in January 2024. This is an extract from our Diary of the visit:
The day started with a visit from Pastor Moise Sawadogo, and a pastor and a deacon from Songdin, a place that had requested a well previously but had not been successful. The pastor was Paul and the deacon was Jean. There were 2000 people in the area, including 1000 children, with about 100 in the church. There was a big open well nearby which was unreliable. Other than that, were no other wells around – the next nearest being a round trip of 12 km.
Now there is a very good well on their doorstep. When we see a line of containers waiting to be filled from a water tower, we know it was the right decision to go ahead.
