How do you make sure your wells are clean and well cared for?
We appoint a committee in every village we help that is committed to keeping the well clean and safe. This includes building a wall surrounding the well, in order to keep animals and other sources of contamination out.
How do you locate well sites?
We work with an organization, Concern For The Girl Child, that educates young girls at risk. Because CGC (Concern For the Girl Child) educates girls all over Uganda, villages that need water are easily identified.
How much does each well cost?
It varies, depending on access and difficulty finding clean water. But generally, each well costs between 10-15,000.

Trip to Africa!

Hi everyone-
Next week, my family and I will be taking a trip to Uganda to visit the wells that Drop has dug so far. We are all very excited to see our progress and see sites for past and new wells. We are almost to our goal for our most recent well, which is also very exciting.
When we travel next week, we will be visiting the villages that we have helped, and be able to talk to the people there about their personal experiences. It will be great to hear the impact of Drop Foundation from the people it is helping, and see how lives have changed! We are all very excited, and there will be plenty of new photos and videos that I will post. Thanks so much, and I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far.

Exciting News!

The well at this school is completed (CGC advanced the money until the remainder of the Drop funds are paid) Water is flowing well and The community is now putting up the fence to keep the animals out.This school has asked for a library so will be very excited to hear they will get one. CGC staff will get an estimate for the cost of a secure room for the books. Just like Kamira.

Karinda water catchment is finished and they are awaiting the rains to start to fill the tank. They are happy to have another covered classroom provided by the water catchment shelter. No more sitting in the blazing sun or rain. :-D
