Chisanga Village is situated east of Kwale County in Kenya and is one of the villages struggling with several challenges. The marketing team visited the town and realized that there was a water problem in the area. With a population of about 1,200 people. Many homesteads don’t have access to clean water, so they either walk for about 3km or more, or use rainwater for several months a year. There are a few uncovered hand-dug and drilled wells, but it’s still not enough for the growing population.
Chisanga villagers were so excited to learn that the Village Drill machine is a tool that can drill a well at an affordable cost. Community members have worked so hard despite hard economic times to raise part of the drilling funds, and they have qualified for the community-funded well program. In less than a week, drilling will commence, and we hope they will enjoy clean water soon.
