Peace Love and Happiness Foundation brings drilling rig to create well for clean water
Date Completed: 2021
Partners: Peace Love and Happiness foundation
Project Description/Impact:
A generous donation from the Peace Love and Happiness Foundation allowed us to purchase a drilling rig to meet the growing demand of clean water in rural villages. The rig has the capacity to drill up to 1000 meters (3280feet). This rig will allow us to reduce the cost to dig boreholes. When a village receives a well that brings clean water, it is women and girls who often spend hours every day carrying water and the children who get sick from water borne diseases who benefit the most.
