August trip to Tanzania

On 25th August 2010 a party consisting of 4 committee members and 8 other family and friends connected with the Well Project are flying out to Tanzania. The trip will take in visits to Nkorya, Machame and Uduru to see wells and latrines which have already been built and to meet the staff and children. We will be visiting Kivulini in the MUWANGA district, initially to see the progess of our 4th well and latrines which are situated between 2 schools which have 400 children per school then later in the trip to hand over and commission the well and latrines.

This Well has involved the construction of a 20 foot tower with 10 foot windpump on top linked to a 10,000 water storage tank to gravity feed water to both schools. Two standpipes with taps are being built for use by the local community.

Our work to date has involved providing wells and latrines to 3 villages within a short perimeter of each other During this trip we will be travelling approx 30 miles from this area to visit proposed sites for the next well for which St Margarets Church, Durham are currently raising funds.


The trip is rounded off by a 3 day safari. All expenses for the trip are at each visitors personal expense. We will be posting photographs on our return and hope to produce an updated DVD which will cover details of our story from its inception upto date.
