The water situation in Busukuma needs drastic improvement. Right now, water only flows during the rainy season, but not during the dry season. In addition, children often drink from and urinate in the water supply, and animals (both wild and domesticated) drink from it, carrying an organism called verde which infects the local population. We need neighbours to help us reconstruct the bore hole in the pump, possibly the pump itself, and dig more and deeper ditches so the water can flow during the dry season as well. An expert told us it might cost $1450 to do this work. One of the questions we need to ask is, should we charge the villagers a small fee for these improvements? Your help and advice is greatly appreciated!
