My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page - please have a look at the photos.

Water Well Drilling

Last year we had the privilege of being part of a drill team in Burkina Faso, West Africa.  We are very grateful to those of you who supported this work as, with your financial help, we were able to drill and install 4 water wells in as many remote villages in the area of Liptougou, eastern Burkina Faso.  We're planning to return to Burkina this November to continue part of the annual schedule of work undertaken by Friends In Action during the country's dry season.

Ongoing Urgent Need

Some of you may know that one of our team members works for NI Water - last year they kindly supplied a number of in-field water quality testing kits.  We found that all of the existing village water supplies (hand dug wells) supplied water that would be the direct equivalent of you and I opening the sewers and drinking our neighbourhoods own untreated sewage.  We showed doctors our photos of the village children and adults with various skin and physical ailments  - sadly the majority were exhibiting conditions linked to contaminated drinking water.  We often take for granted our clean tap water - thankfully we were able to provide access to the clean water buried underground using simple low-maintenance hand pump wells.

Your Support Is Appreciated

Please consider donating to Friends In Action for this incoming trip.  In November we are looking to tackle sites in the country's capital Ouagadougou - your support would be greatly appreciated.
