The well has been the most ambitious project we have undertaken yet. While working with the village, we received a call that the village well had went dry. So the women of the village had to walk up to 8 miles a day to collect water for the village and its animals. Not only was this incredibly difficult for these women, it was also dangerous. By heading into the brush so often, they ran the risk of encountering dangerous wildlife. We know that people and animals cannot live without water, so we decided to help the village drill a well. This would support not only the villagers, but their cows and goats. Knowing this, we also chose to build a small culvert that would allow for direct water transport to the cattle trough. Unfortunately, this highlighted another problem. As soon as the new water source appeared, so did the elephants and other wild animals from the area.  We knew this was a problem so we worked to create another culvert that would lead into a freshwater pool. This would create another watering hole for the animals to use that would keep them farther away from the village. We also ultimately built a large watering and swimming hole so they elephants could swim in it after drinking fresh water from the pool.
