Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
Various contributions from families from Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta also helped support this deep well. This is an agricultural area with hills and valleys surrounded by woodlands. The area is densely populated. The area has brown loam soil. Water sources are mainly hand dug well and river streams which are down hill and they take most of the days hours to look for water. We did a seminar which had 17 participants. PUMP SERIAL : 91730
