The entire village celebrates their new safe water well |
Imagine the entire population of Jefferson City walking to the local buffalo pond every day to get a pot of water. This is the same pond where the residents bathe and wash their clothes as well as water their farm animals. Because of the polluted water, every child has a continuous stomach ache. Cholera, Hepatitis, Typhoid and parasites could lurk in every sip.
The 33 wells bored in 2010 and the 12 wells bored so far this year, are giving Indian villages what every resident in Jefferson City already had, safe water to drink.
Give Now- $650 bores a shallow water well for an Indian village
