April 15 – We Hit Year 1 Goal, 15th well installed!
The 15th Masindi well was installed (village of Nyakabale) during the second week of April. Our goal for our first year of operation (ended March 31, 2009) was 15 wells. Robin Waugh and his predecessor Matt Fay and they team they build deserve huge credit for overcoming a host of obstacles in our first year and staying on track. With an average 500 people served by each well, this first year effort has resulted in near 7500 people with fresh water and access to better sanitation and hygiene education. A heartfelt congratulations to the team in Masindi!
