A Visit to a Borehole in Garissa County

Last week, we had the opportunity to visit a borehole in Garissa County, where we met some of the people who benefit from this vital source of water. The borehole was drilled but lacks tunnels for water catchment .HELP DADAAB that works to improve the lives of refugees and host communities in NORTHEASTERN and its surroundings.

The borehole provides clean and safe water for drinking, cooking, washing and and cattle rearing . It also supports a small-scale animal rearing project that helps the community . The borehole is powered by diesel generators, which make it not environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

However, the borehole also faces some challenges that need to be addressed. For instance, the water level fluctuates depending on the rainfall and the demand. Sometimes, the borehole runs dry and people have to wait for hours or days to get water. The borehole also needs regular maintenance and repairs to ensure its functionality and quality. Moreover, the borehole is not enough to meet the needs of the growing population in the area, especially during droughts and emergencies.

That is why we are appealing to you, our generous donors and supporters, to help us improve and expand this borehole project. With your help, we can:

– Install a water tank and a pump to increase the water storage and supply capacity of the borehole
users
– Train the community members on how to operate and maintain the borehole equipment
– Drill more boreholes in other locations where water is scarce and needed

Your donation will make a huge difference in the lives of thousands of people who depend on this borehole for their survival and well-being. Please visit our website or contact us to learn more about how you can help. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
