Located in the very rural Massai area of Kenya, is a town by the name of Ilbissil. There are two main schools here that started through the African Inland Church. One, the larger of the two, is a boarding secondary school for girls. The schools are located right next to each other and the church is just across the street at the foot of Ilbissil mountain.

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

Although we mainly like only work in schools, orphanages and medical centers, occasionally you have to make an exception. A few vehicle issues ended up providing an exception to this rule.

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 well was paid for by Nick Merrill and Liz Strathy Merrill. Two runners from Washington State that ran from Portland, Oregon to Seattle Washington to raise money for wells in Africa.

This school in the Lira region of northern Uganda currently has 419 boys and 428 girls.

This project was a collaboration between Drop in the Bucket and Rotary International. Rotary is involved with several projects in the area and asked Drop in the Bucket if we could install a well and toilets for them.

The Children's village orphanage in Nimule is the largest Sudanese run orphanage operation in South Sudan. It was originally started by an American named Sam Childers, but is now operated and run by a staff of 35 local Sudanese who take care of over 240 orphans. The staff spend a lot of their time counselling the kids as some of them are former child soldiers.
