A message from the community
Sir, Calvary greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. We the community wish to write and appreciate your love, sacrifice, and support. The Kpaningo Community is overwhelmed by your support and effort of drilling a borehole. Apart from the newly drilled borehole, your company has also fixed an old borehole that was not working. Now we have two boreholes in our community. May the Lord bless you and increase you. Andrew Tomale
Some community details (provided by our in-country partners)
For women, living in Kpaningo. water collection is often a daunting task. They wake up very early in the morning to face the task usually from 3 am. They either join the queue at the crowded drilled well and face the possibility of quarrels with other women, or walk for close to half an hour to open streams. This well provides opportunity for these women and their children to have access to clean water at great convenience and speed.
