Clean water

Water.
Here that involves a bit more than opening your faucet.

 First you go to one of the 5 pumps in the village 

Start pumping. 

Once your bucket is full, you get to cart it home. 

While everyone uses this water, it is not clean water. These shallow wells are not deep and have been contaminated by typhoid in the past 

Clean water. This pool of water is from a spring that we would like to tap. 

The spring is about 2 kilometers up from the village. We would like to install a spring box (to collect the water and help build up pressure) and then pipe it down to the village. 

What we need is someone to help. Do you know someone who knows a bit about water systems and would like to visit us? Please be in prayer with us to provide clean water for the Ga'dang people.

Hi Christinia, Thanks for sharing these photos of our time there in the village and I hope the entire system is still working OK. I hope that you and all of the village are well. God bless to all of you. Luke
