Key Stats
See below the key takeaways and impact of the water wells
Long Distances for Unsafe Water
Communities like Sayangwe Village and Bethany Primary School rely on distant and often contaminated water sources, requiring residents—especially women and children—to walk 2–3 km daily, spending up to 3–4 hours just to fetch water.
Health Risks and Disease
The reliance on stagnant or unsafe water has led to frequent cases of waterborne diseases such as cholera and dysentery, posing serious health risks, especially for children.
Economic Burden
Schools like Musungu Comprehensive Mixed Day School, with 700 students, have no permanent water source and must purchase water at high cost, while families spend large portions of their income on water or medical treatments for preventable illnesses.
Positive Impact of the Water Well
The new water wells will provide clean, potable water, reducing disease, improving hygiene and sanitation, supporting small-scale farming, and allowing women and children to redirect their time toward education and economic activities—thereby uplifting the entire community.
