In 2015, Benjamin and Nigel, Chair and founder of WellBoring, a UK based charity see website www.wellboring.org came together and partnered for a common purpose which gave birth to WellBoring Groundwater. The name has changed severally, but the dedication to providing clean safe drinking water in rural primary schools has always been at the forefront of all we do. Since then we have achieved milestones drilling more than 130 water wells in schools across Kenya. 

Why WellBoring GroundWater  was formed:

In 2002, Eng. Benjamin Koyoo (our founder) upon his return from USA on study tour witnessed the suffering and hardship faced by disadvantaged rural communities in Kisumu area due to lack of Safe clean drinking water. Children were dying due to cholera, diarrhea and other water related diseases. This led him to mobilize his kinsmen and former childhood friends to start home grown organization – solely to support relief work through the provision of clean safe drinking water. Since then, WellBoring Groundwater has focused its work in drilling low costs, low risk water solutions across Kenya.
