The Clean Water Project

Clean drinking water is a must for healthy living and in 2015, with the help of our supporters and sponsors in the UK, we were able to have a borehole drilled so that they entire village of Mpongwe could benefit from clean drinking water.

The new clean water well which for the first time in the history of the village of Mpongwe includes a pump is situated at the Mumba Children’s Project Centre, Mponwe, Zambia.

August 28, 2015 was a very exciting day for the people of Mpongwe as the Drilling crew arrived early in the day to bore the hole that would provide clean drinking water for all.

This is how we got clean water, before the drill crew came... walking for miles to the old well...
Drawing water by the bucket and having to take it back to the village... it was hard work...
The Drilling Crew arrives, and many of the children and villagers come to watch.
The Drilling Crew prepare to start work
The work begins...
The crew work through the day...
Nearly done...
At last the borehole is done and with the standpipe and pump were installed... getting water is a lot easier!
