New well project – Ripoi Nkineji

When we first pulled up to the spring at Ripoi there was no one there. We walked around the site looking at the project.  I was astounded that this small puddle of water about the size of a couple bird baths was their only source of water. Slowly people started showing up.  A mother with her two young daughters came to scoop water out of the shallow indent in the earth. 

For the families at Orgnoswa getting water is a real struggle. Montana on a Mission is preparing to improve access to clean water by drilling a borehole in the community.

New well project – Papuyia – Guest Post by Bill and Betsy Donald

During our February visit, the men of Papuyia were anxious to show the amount of time and energy it took for their women to go to the dry riverbed where they dug for murky water to supply their families.  MOM has identified a well site with excellent potential for a successful flowing well.
