Kenya: New borehole brings fresh water to Todonyang

Water - a refreshing sight in this arid region

The St Paul's Missionary Community in Todonyang, in the Turkana Desert region of north west Kenya are celebrating this week as a new borehole of 66 metres has been drilled and struck water at 39 metres, with a capacity of 5,500 litres per hour. Until now local people have had to walk long distances in search of water for their basic needs. This new well will enable the nomadic community to bring in their flocks of goats, and develop new agricultural projects growing fruit and vegetables.

The well has been funded by New Ways - a UK-based run completely by volunteers.
