Their water source!, and what 1 Euro can do.

6th July 2016:

Its hard to believe that in the year 2016,  people can show you this as their source of DRINKING water.
It is hard to believe, but believe it, it's a fact.
AND this is life for maybe 884 million of the World's poorest, give or take a few million.

This is an area called Enukweni where we are just about ready to begin pump installations, where the villagers have dug the wells and our man has overseen the well construction. 
The deal is that each village must provide bricks, sand, stones and all the labour. We supply the pump, fittings and cement.

I think that the plan is for 27 pumps to begin.

The GPS location is integral to the picture.
