Lamin Borehole Drilled
Posted by Steve Hall on March 5
The Lamin Oyo Community School used to rely on a seasonal waterhole as its only water source. This waterhole fills during and shortly after the rainy season, but it quickly dries up afterward. Moreover, the water from this source is contaminated, leading to numerous health issues within the community.
When the dry season reached its peak, the community faced a significant water crisis, forcing residents to travel long distances in search of clean water. This situation severely impacted over 200 children in the area, as they would often spend hours each day fetching water, which hindered their ability to attend school.
Our implementing partner, Drop in the Bucket, recently drilled a new borehole well providing safe water on the school grounds. The students and the surrounding community will benefit from this well for years to come!
