With our third trip to Kenya down, it's time to get back to work. We've committed to drill one well (about 300 feet down) at a Polytechnic School in Namawanga. The well will be located far from any other reliable water sources, and will make a big difference to the school and the surrounding homes. (In the picture, Pat Border poses with the marked location of the future well)The well has been quoted at around $21,000 by a reliable driller in Kenya. With the help of the Westfield Rotary, we've currently raised over $7,000, leaving us with $14,000 more to raise!
There are several ways we can go about this. We are currently applying for grants. We can also contact companies and do small local fundraisers. We've created a website, as well, that we hope will aid in raising money. The website makes it simple to donate using a credit card... simply click on the link and it will take you to our EWB-USA page! All donations are tax-deductible as well.
Here's the link. If you know anyone who might be interested in donating, companies, and potential large donors, please send this their way.
