Well Drilling
Posted on September 05, 2009 by Barak in Africa | No Comments
Misaka is a small peri-urban community outside Ndola Zambia with about 8,000 people, a few hand dug wells, and a muddy river. A government run school with 3 unpaid teachers provide education to 350 of the community’s children, grades 1-5. 3 wells have just been drilled in the past few weeks. This will be the 4th. A hand pump may not appear much in a landscape as harsh as this, but one smiling man shook my hand and said “our land is fertile and this water brings us hope.”
