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.

Did you know?

In the families that do not have access to clean water, it is usually women and girls who are responsible for fetching clean water. Water, which in some cases they have to walk very far to collect.

UN WATER writes:

📝 “Women and girls usually have the responsibility of fetching water. This can be a dangerous, time-consuming and physically demanding task. Long journeys by foot, often more than once a day, can leave women and girls vulnerable to attack and often precludes them from school or earning an income.”

This is precisely the reason why it is so important to ensure clean drinking water in the communities that need it most 💧
