Water line repair/replacement - GOAL REACHED!
Thank you for your support! What a great Christmas present for the community we serve. A gift that will be appreciated every day.
There is an immediate need to raise funds to replace and repair the water lines that serve the community.
The water lines are broken, yet again, and the residents have to make several trips each week to the river. It is roughly a one mile walk in each direction down and up the steep, rutted road. This is done predominately by the women while the men work in the fields from sunrise to sunset.
Estimated cost for materials is $850.
