To date we
have installed four freshwater wells in Kamdini Parish, Northern Uganda.
The four wells allow over 5000 people in Uganda to drink fresh, clean water.
Our immediate goal is to raise enough funds to purchase a well drilling
machine and a truck to transport it. The machine and a truck would cost
about Canadian $35,000. This would allow NUDF to install more wells
throughout rural Northern Uganda at a cheaper cost. Currently, we are
renting a machine and truck and spending about Canadian $3,000 to $12,000 to
dig a well, depending on the depth of the water table. With the well
drilling machine we could drill wells much cheaper, pass on the savings to
other NGO's to drill their wells and employ two people to drill the actual
well.
The
breakdown of the cost of drilling a well is shown below.
