Water, water everywhere!

The sinking of the borehole in Chilubula has created much excitement. It started as the trucks with the drilling equipment were approaching; apparently they were heard a long time before they actually arrived.

The children and the other villagers watched in fascination as the process began. The drilling took a few days, and then work was done on installing the hand pump.

Two months later and the water problem is history. This has been a huge step forward and an end to drinking unhygienic water. As well as for drinking, the water will be used to grow vegetables for the children during the dry season and to help with the completion of the remaining building work. The whole community in Chilubula will benefit.
