These wells have been built for over 20 years now and have proven the most effective way of providing water to this area. The wells are capped and fitted with a hand operated pump. If at any time there is a blockage or break down, the cap can be removed from the top of the well and buckets can be used thus ensuring the continuation of clean water supply. The pump unit is simple to maintain and easy for a child to use. Many thousands of these pumps are used world-wide.
