Community Project:
In progress
Water Expansion Project
One of the greatest health concerns of Seje community was the lack of treated drinking water; many community members suffered unneccesarily from water borne ailments. Efforts had been made to drill bore holes in the community, but a larger vision was needed.
In 2008 Community Bible Church, Water Mission International, and the local community based organization came together to begin a project that would pump water from the Yala river through a purification system up to a holding tank and onto 3 strategic water point locations.
The original phase was completed as well as adding a supplemental booster pump and another two water points in Bar Olengo community that will increase the distribution of water from 10,000 to 30,000 cubic meters a day. now servicing as many as 5,000 people through the region.
