How it worked
Communities found that by uniting their efforts, they could pool their resources and save enough to pay for their own borehole well.
A community that paid for its own well had full ownership, with the responsibility to look after, protect and maintain it, and the confidence to keep working together on other parts of their lives.
Each well cost $4,000–$5,000, including labour, materials, supplies, travel, surveys and fees.
Where we focus now
Today our work is centred on donated wells.
