who will implement the boreholes?
We will be partnering with different Lions Clubs around the world. They will:
-
Identify a remote rural village that would greatly benefit
-
Hire local contractors to build the borehole
-
Organize a borehole opening day ceremony
Our first funded borehole will be implemented by:
Lions Clubs of Mombasa Bahari located in Mombasa, Kenya, East Africa
My family and I have funded and installed boreholes with them in the past. Hence why we are deciding to go with them for our first one. Hopefully this fundraiser is a success and we can branch out to other Lions Clubs.
What is a water borehole?
A water borehole is a deep narrow well driven by an electric/manual pump that taps into the underground stores of water held in permeable rock known as aquifers.
They provide a constant supply of water and can be used for drinking, showers, dishes, laundry, domestic outdoor use, etc.
Also, each borehole is used by the village AND surrounding villages/ communities benefiting around 2,000 - 5,000 people.
