Well Project
Well Project: URGENT NEED!
First we want to praise the Lord, the need funds was
supplied and the well was drilled. The top two photos
shows what we went from, to!
The country of Uganda is still in a server drought which
has brought new problems to the school.
The main source of electrical power comes from hydro
generation from Lake Victoria at Jinja. Now Lake
Victoria is at an 80 year low and the generation has
been cut to 1/3 of the capacity. This has lead to power
rationing through out the country of Uganda; most of
this rationing being in the villages in the bush.
Mateete is in the bush country of Uganda and now goes
with out power for days at a time. When it does come
back on it may be for 4 hours then back off; they do not
know when it will be off or when it will come back on.
Here lately it has been in the middle of the night before
they get up.
This has brought on a new problem for the school.
Even though we have a well it takes power to pump the
water; with the power going off and just on for a short
time the tank has ran out of water. (The power is not on
long enough to fill the tank, or get the amount need for
the school).
They have been taking the school truck to buy water
from other villages, but because of number of people
going to the few bore holes that have not run dry, they
are not allowed to get the amount of water needed for
the children.
What is need is a generator to supply the power to the
pump. This would also help the village of Mateete, the
school could sell water to the people that can not get to
the other bore holes.
Pray with us that these needed funds will be provided to
meet this need.
