Well #18

Give Amore’s first ever water spring’s construction was a huge success all thanks to your thoughtful impacting giving. On June 1, 2019, The Riley Spring was commissioned and handed over to the beneficiary community through a short prayer ceremony held on site and graced by Give Amore, Team Kenya.

Unlike other distant neighboring water springs, Riley is fitted with a continuous flow resistant cleansing mechanism in its underground collection tank therefore, just like a well, it will unceasingly supply its recipients with a steady flow of clean and safe water for general household consumption.

As a parting shot, the local leadership, builders and beneficiaries present on the inauguration ceremony applauded this thoughtful blessing and vowed to take care of it. They termed it the fulcrum of their livelihood!

MAY 13, 2019 BUILDING MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Construction and purification of Give Amore’s first ever water spring is currently underway in the remote Matungu village. This comes after a survey revealed that the area has a higher water table which could not allow for sinking of a well, hence the spring development.

In a village where locals trek for miles in search of water, uncertain hazardous rain water has been their bail from the water search hardship. Therefore, this centrally placed underground water source will come in handy in ensuring perennial flow of clean water and time to time purification will sure save time, effort and lives in the long-run . 

A spring’s building process doesn’t differ much from a normal well building, only that it is sophisticated given the type of materials and expertise used to ensure the main source is tapped correctly and precautions taken to avert any avoidable pollution.

MAY 6, 2019 VISIT TO THE SPRINGS

April 2019

Over 500 people are fetching water from the group surface pictured. There are so many people using the same source to an extent that they fetch water through the night. There is always a long queue for the same water.

They use this water for cooking, washing and even drinking. They said they had an outbreak of typhoid for some time due to the impurities from the water since it is open.
