Gerald the well was done sometime last year I believe. It was part of the
ZAO Water Organization, a completely non-profit organization. to quote them
"We SELL water to GIVE water". They are doing a great service for providing healthy, clean, SAFE water in Kenya and Tanzania. Matt Peterson is the director. To date they have provided 19 wells,33 springs,a catchment tank that provides for 900 school children, hygiene training for thousands and sanitary latrines in most places that they have provided a watersource.

In todays "modern" world water related diseases take the lives of over
5 MILLION people each year, most are children under the age of 5!!!
