Pamin-lok Well Drilled

Posted by Steve Hall on March 5
Pamin-lok oola, located in the Owoo sub-county of Gulu district in Uganda, has a total enrollment of 460 students. The entire area lacks access to clean water. Children were forced to walk miles every day to retrieve water, which was often contaminated. They initially found water in local holes, but these would frequently dry up. When that happened, they had to walk nearly two miles to a swamp to collect unsafe water.

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!

Thanks to the Westridge Water Warriors in Pasadena, CA, for supporting this project!
