In 2022 we hired a local team to do a hand dug well at the request of the Pakuwa village leaders but the well dig was unsuccesful. Pakuwa was a new village location just downriver from the primary village and has water contamination at their primary sources from the river and creek. The first hand dug site hit rock before getting to water bearing depths. Since then we have surveyed another nearby location for a well and plan on digging again as funds become available.
Upon digging a successful well we will have the water tested and build out a water tower and water distribution point for locals to fill up buckets for drinking water.
