WATER WELL

We are delighted with the completed project and the water pump that has been put into operation

Karlsruhe

The water supply has been a major problem so far. From the only well in the village, water was pumped up from a well drilled deep in the ground using a hand pump. This is time-consuming and exhausting. In order to give the people a better quality of life, the Mende Nazer Foundation planned to optimise the existing well with an electric water pump. The project was coordinated and completed by Mende, her husband together with us and the Nuba diaspora. To ensure that the electric pump works properly, solar panels were installed to supply the electric pump with power during the day. A generator is used at night. To protect the pump, a rectangular brick wall was built in which various taps and valves were installed from which the fresh groundwater can be drawn. In the videos you can see how the pump is installed and used for the first time. The joy of the flowing water was great and was honoured with singing and dancing by the locals in a small celebration. The Nubas are very grateful for this great gift, which will change their daily lives.
