The Solution
A bottom-up, local solution to a global problem.
Our model can be described as bottom-up — providing a local solution to a global problem. We use local materials, local labour and ingenuity, and we transfer ownership to the community upon completion.
How We Work
- Project Identification. We work with local county authorities and community development assistants to identify schools and villages in need through word of mouth, referrals and public barazas.
- Community Engagement. Deep community involvement and collaborative planning sit at the heart of our philosophy.
- Construction & Education. Schools and villages provide at least 10% of total project costs in locally available resources (sand, gravel, murram) and labour.
- Capacity Building. We establish water-user committees and train pump mechanics, equipping them with the skills and tools to handle maintenance and repairs.
- Monitoring. Projects are monitored every three months after hand-over, with results shared to partners and beneficiaries.
Our Drilling Technology
WellBoring operates three drill rigs:
- PRD 650 — a robust DTH-cum-rotary combination rig reaching depths of 180 metres.
- Two LS 200 units — cost-effective potable mud-rotary drill rigs reaching maximum depths of 60 metres.
Both handle consolidated laterite, highly collapsible alluvial formations, and fractured granite.
Beyond Water
We also deliver School Health and Hygiene Education (SHHE) and construct lined ventilated improved pit latrines (LVIP) to address sanitation needs.
Clean Water Boreholes
Drilling sustainable boreholes at rural schools using the PRD 650 and LS 200 rigs, reaching depths of up to 180 metres.
School Health & Hygiene Education
Our SHHE programme teaches handwashing, safe water handling and menstrual hygiene to keep children — especially girls — healthy and in school.
Sanitation & LVIP Latrines
We construct lined ventilated improved pit latrines to end open defecation and protect children from disease.
Pump Mechanic Training
We establish water-user committees and train local pump mechanics so every system can be maintained and repaired by the community itself.
