IWFA - Start of construction work in Nyandiwa, Kenya

Drilling table, children watching in the background

Today we started the drilling work in Nyandiwa, Kenya. The village is getting a hand pump. Drilling will take place on the premises of the Nyandiwa Baptist Church. If all goes well, the work will be completed on Saturday - a week's work. A hydro-geological survey was conducted before drilling. The expected drilling depth is 100m to 120m. The population watched in suspense.
