\"Precious<\/a>Our crew has just sent in some photos from the Precious Academy in Western Kenya.<\/p>\n

For this project our crew was sent in to replace a well that had not been drilled properly by another driller.\u00a0 The old well had collapsed internally.\u00a0 The school and local community were in desperate need of a clean, safe and reliable water source.<\/p>\n

The good news on this project is that the well pump from the faulty borehole could be salvaged and is in good working order.\u00a0 The last step before this project will be complete is moving that pump onto the new borehole casing seen in the pictures below.<\/p>\n

We’re awaiting a full report including more photos, GPS coordinates and the total number of people it will benefit.\u00a0 We hope to update this post soon with that new information.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’re glad to be able to restore this vital source of clean water for the community.<\/p>\n
