well #5

As of February 2017, Give Amore’s fifth well is now flowing with a bounty of clean safe clean water and is open for the community to drink from. The well strategically located at Fridah Mutika’s is complete after three weeks of prayers, digging hard work and patience.

The celebrations and laughter exuded by the congregation gathered to witness the dedication of the well to the communities’ use, was evidence enough of the thankful glad beneficiaries of safe clean water. Led by Fridah’s guardian, the communities’ representation thanked Give Amore and vowed to collectively, responsibly look after their new well and reach out to the larger community to drink from it too.

It is evident that dry spell is widely felt across multiple villages and thus most of their distant water streams have dried up leaving the thirsty many traversing through distant neighboring villages in search for this scarce precious commodity. Therefore, this new well provides a long-term remedy to their daily needs of safe clean water.

“Drinking from this well’s crystal clear safe water for the first time, assures me that I am protected from waterborne pathogens and the daily lengthy treks to distant sources,” was Fridah’s mother’s parting shot before the gathering blessed the well in prayer and departed with their full buckets of clean fresh water.
