In many African villages, children walk several miles to bring unsanitary drinking water home for domestic uses. Often they walk an average of 2-4 miles or more to find water in streams, rivers, erosion ditches or gullies. These kinds of water sources often incubate all types of diseases that unleash terrible blows on their health condition and impact average life expectancy.

In photo above, girl washes family's breadfruit for meal in this dirty water pond by her village road side. She's among a thousand others that have no access to clean sanitary water. Usually they will walk miles and climb hills and valleys to fetch unsafe open river water. Kids have to make these trips at least twice daily. Once before going to school (and they are often late to school each day), and then another time after school in the early evening.

Many children who could not attend school due to abject poverty in their families, are also seen in the streets of nearby urban centers hawking some wares or food items they are saddled with each day by either their parents, or the people they serve in these towns.
Child labor is too rampant in many African towns, including overburdening children with water fetching tasks several times a day.

Umunneme ward of Ogberuru Village heaved a sigh of relief when it received this gift of a finished water well and 2 public spigot delivery systems in Summer of 2001.

Photo shows village children from nearby homes fetching clean sanitary water for domestic use from two recently installed public taps (spigots).

Commissioning the Alulu water well:
We drilled & developed this well in 2 days. It is 182 feet deep and 6" diameter. It produces about 15-20 GPM (gallons per minute) from a 1.5 HP submersible pump.

Water Properties: Colorless & clear, odorless, and tasteless.

What a joy to see that fresh clean water rushing out from deep underground...

The Uzi Water well in Owerri supplies the primary school, the Anglican Missions Medical Clinic, the Vocational Center for Women, and their printing press.

This Water Storage Tank is a little over 1000 gallons. The Well is in the background.

It is filled by pumping several time per day to meet the demands in this village community of about 600 people.
The concrete slab around the well ensures durability for the frequent public traffic in the vicinity of the well and storage tank.
