update on Canadian Nurses for Africa

We were able to visit three of the sites on Tuesday. We handed over the well at Wangulu after the pump repair. The school is very happy to have water back in the compound without the children having walk to the river to collect water. The community will also have access.




The second visit was to Ikobero spring where even in mid morning there was a line of containers and women waiting their turn. The flow is strong and the elders will be finishing the exterior with the community, planting grass and ditching for run off.. 



One lady who allowed us to park the vehicle in her compound told us they were extremely grateful to have clean water. They are seeing fewer sicknesses from diarrhea and vomiting as well as malaria.

Lastly we visited Kedohi school where the well has reached 70 ft (20 m) The culverts are ready and will be installed in the next few days



The three communities offer their sincere thanks to the nurses and their supporters
