Warmest greetings from us to you and the rest of the Amigos family and the 4AFRICA team.Firstly, am glad report to you the that the water well (Bore Hole) at Jehovah Jireh Church – Kabedopong, Gulu is already fully mounted and the church, school and surrounding community members in the area have already starting accessing the water from this clean source. Secondly, the water well shall be attached to the Resource and Practical Development Department of the Church, and a WATER RESOURCE COMMITTEE was formed after Thanksgiving prayers yesterday, Sunday, 14.10.18, to help in effective and efficient management of the water and ensure sustainability of the project;
Rev. Capt. Okere Jackson, the General Overseer Jehovah Jireh Church will be their PATRON. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right and an essential step towards improving living standards worldwide (Gulu), and since an average person on earth requires at least 20 to 50 Litres of clean, safe water a day for drinking, cooking or simply keeping themselves clean, the impact of this completed phase of the project is immense already!!! I believe the project will reduce on the number of death due to diarrheal diseases such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery, among other host water sickness.
Education will also not suffer anymore due to sick children missing schools because the community is now “water – rich” and economic opportunities will also not be routinely lost because there will be isolated cases of people rampantly become ill. Additionally, availability of this water well will also have wider implications through its contributions in other aspect of life. The water well’s ready availability at the site will save time spent by especially women and children (girls) that bears the brunt burden of collecting water each day from long distances.
The next future step God willing would be to see the water to overhead supply tanks for rest rooms/toilets.I will start by sending pictures taken earlier last week to you bit by bit as much as I can for now; some will be retrieved when you come to Gulu.
