COMPLETED: Borehole and hand pump for Dauda Town

Type: Hand drilled borehole and SL pump
Location: Dauda Town, Sierra Leone
People directly affected: 292
Price: 550 US$

The situation:

Dauda Town is a section of Fullah town, which is located in Waterloo near Freetown in Sierra Leone. The community is deprived of improved public water services, and the local people has to bring water for their domestic use home from a stream, which has no protection for contamination. W4W is establishing a total of 6 wells across the various secions of Fullah town. One of these sections, Dauda Town, is home to 292 people.

The solution:

For 550$ Walking for Water has donated a hand drilled borehole and a closed well with a SL handpump made from locally available materials by W4W’s Sierra Leonean partner ERWS whom have successfully drilled more than 400 wells of the type with success. The population of Dauda Town, counting 292 people, now have a clean water well available for public use. The project was completed in November 2020.

A toilet for the Promised Land Community Academy 🤩

Back in the spring, the students at the International School of Hellerup walked in favor of clean water - and not only did they raise money for two hand pumps, they also raised for not just one, but two toilets.

280 students and 15 teachers at the Promised Land Community Academy now finally have access to a toilet, and no longer have to go home when nature calls. And we think that is fantastic 🙏

Many thanks to the International School of Hellerup PYP3A - You have made a huge difference ❤️

Also a big thank you to our local partner EcoWater Solutions SL Ltd 🙏💙

Another big project💧

@hadstenhojskole and @lovespringwaterforwater did such an amazing job raising money that there was room for another big project 🤩

This water system will provide water for four communities - Hatsukope, Tokor, Laklivikope and Agorvime - a total of 4.999 people.

A HUGE THANK YOU to @hadstenhojskole for yet again helping people in need. You are an inspiration to all of us ❤️

Info about the project:
Our partner in Ghana first made a geo survey to make sure it was possible to make the borehole and to find the perfect location.

The borehole goes down to 110 meters and consists of a two HP Electric pump which has auto censor and two 8.000 liter storage tanks.

On the concrete wall you will find four standing taps and eight low taps.

Yet again we would like to say thank you to our partners in Ghana, @yvlghana. We really appreciate your commitment 🙏🏽

✨ Our biggest project yet ✨

💧save drinking water for 8.156 people💧

We are very proud to tell you that we have finished the project in Gbleapedo in Ghana 🙌🏾

This is one of two big projects in Ghana where five communities now has access to safe drinking water. These five communities include Gbleapedo, Aletame, Dzenunyepkodzi, Dakar Sorogakope and Kubakope 💙

The project started back in the early spring of 2021 where W4W’s volunteer Alberte went to inspect the situation. Together with the board members of W4W we made the conclusion that we would be able to help the people in these communities - we just needed a sponsor.

.. and it did not take long to find one 😱 in collaboration with @lovespringwaterforwater, @hadstenhojskole raised the money - not only for this project, but for three other projects as well.

We are so thankful for your huge part in making this possible ❤️

Also a huge thank you to our partner in Ghana @yvlghana. We are very happy with our partnership and your dedication to these projects 🙏🏽

“…. Yet diarrhoea is largely preventable, and the deaths of 297 000 children aged under 5 years could be avoided each year if these risk factors were addressed. Where water is not readily available, people may decide handwashing is not a priority, thereby adding to the likelihood of diarrhoea and other diseases.“

From start to (almost) finish

Back in the early spring of 2021 Walking for Water’s volunteer Alberte and our local partner Joseph went to Hatsukope Community in Ghana to take a look at the water situation. It was clear that they were in desperate need of a new water system. The water in the area was so salty that it was not at all drinkable.

Next step was to raise the funds and find a sponsor for the project. This happened sooner than we expected as our danish partners @lovespringwaterforwater stepped in along with the amazing sponsors from @hadstenhojskole. Soon after, the work could begin.

These photos shows the process from start to finish (almost) and very soon the new water system will be handed over to the community. We will of course make an update on this. 💙

Stay tuned and enjoy these photos from the beginning - from sensitizing the community to analyzing the ground, drilling the borehole, building the structure and look where we are now 🙌🏾
