east africa clean water project- in the wando genet district of ethiopia, there are wells ranging in depth from 20 to 30 meters that are non- functional. People have returned to their original contaminated water sources, such as rivers and springs. Abomsa is a village in wando genet where people had to travel over 3 km every day to gather water from other sources. When this was not an option, families resorted to drawing contaminated water from hand-dug wells. Wine to water installed new rods, pvc casing, cylinder, and pins and seals. The well was disinfected and the hand-pump reconstructed. With the well fully functional, 350 individuals now have a dependable source of safe water. The primary water sources for the people in uganda are borehole wells. These types of wells endure a lot of stress, especially in areas where they are pumped around the clock. With so many moving parts, these wells are in need of regular maintenance. However they often are neglected, which results in more 30 percent of wells in sub-saharan africa in need of repair. W|w partnered with with several other international ngos to rehabilitate five non-functioning wells north of kampala, uganda. The program benefitted five communities, reaching a total of 2,250 beneficiaries with clean water.
