Geological Survey completed and results are in.

The results of the geological survey show that there is water at a depth of 160 meters, Alhamdulillah. Now it time to drill.

So far ODP has done 16  water project all of which were shallow wells. In Kinango the water depth is very far (160mts) and a shallow well cannot do, only a borehole will do in this area. The area has no electricity to pump out the water and if we opt to purchase a generator as a source of power there is no fuel station close by and regular transportation of fuel will be an expensive recurring expense. The only solution for power is to install a solar system to power the pump and pump out the water.

This project will come at a significant cost when compared with all other ODP projects but it is in an area where it is most needed. The team on the ground is quoting the project on just cost figure and the estimate cost for this project is coming to AUD 19,000/-. This will include drilling 160mts (discounted by local officials), purchase and installing of pipe casing, pump, solar power system, electrical cable, above ground water tank, transport and other cost.

Alhamdulillah so far through your generous donation we have 15,326.13. We are requesting you to make additional onetime donation to help us reach the target.
