This is so true in Uganda. The alternative to well water is rainwater catchment or from a nearby stream. Having visited Uganda twice and seeing Buheesi’s streams, trust me you don’t want anyone using them as a source of water. A generous donor provided two wells this year and it was truly a cause for celebration. When finished, the donor was given a chance to have a sign created for a lasting remembrance. Our donor put a scriptural reference on each. Nearby villagers will get to know that scripture by heart very soon.
Every well is christened by a gathering of villagers and a prayer.
Yellow five gallon water jugs are everywhere in the village. It takes muscles to move this precious commodity, but it iw worth every tired step.
These wells are numbers 8 and 9 for Buheesi. Over the years they have sturdy centers of community and maintenance free. Hopefully they will be working properly as these young boys grow into men. The need for additional wells remains. Would you consider providing the necessary funds for Well number 10?
