A non-profit organization providing water wells and sanitation systems to schools in Africa

The Lire Secondary School is located in the Lire village near Kejo Kaji in South Sudan. The School has 350 pupils which, although smaller than a lot of the schools we work at, is actually quite large for a Secondary School in South Sudan. So few people actually get to complete a Secondary education in this country and this is one of the larger rural Secondary schools we have found.

The Alogoro Primary school is in the village of Alogoro. There is no road leading to the village, so you have to drive through sunflower fields to reach the village.

The St. Ponsiano primary school is in Mwanda, central Uganda. It is located between two villages, both of which needed a well to share with the school. There are 480 pupils and 10 teachers at St. Ponsiano (212 boys and 268 girls), and of these children, 24 are orphans.

The St. Bruno Nabitimpa Primary School is located in the Mubende District of Central Uganda. The school has 411 pupils (221 girls and 190 boys), of whom 37 are orphans.

The town of Ilbissil is situated at the foot of Ilbissil Mountain, in the very rural Massai area of Kenya. Located there are two schools established by the African Inland Church, which is located just across the street from the two adjacent schools.

There are 4 neighboring villages that the well is serving. (Kagavu, Kyankowe, Mawaga and Kasoozo)

Although we work mainly in schools, orphanages and medical centers, a few vehicle issues ended up providing an exception to this rule. After some of our drillers and a few friends ended up spending several hours in this very remote village and seeing the muddy pond where the village was getting its water, we were asked if we would consider helping.

This well was installed at Pece village in collaboration with the Los Angeles based charity Generosity Water who have funded a number of projects through Drop in the Bucket and another group called Project X who work closely with them. The following text is taken from Project X's website.

This project was a collaboration between Drop in the Bucket and Generosity Water, a Los Angeles based charity that sells bottled water and uses the profits to fund water projects around the world. We have worked with them on several projects, but this was one they came to us about.

This is a very large school as the enrollment at the Primary School is 1175, 412 girls and 359 boys, but there are an additional 404 younger children that attend the attached nursery school. The well serves the Primary school, the Nursery School and the surrounding community.
