MRDF funding meant the local partner could train a

The whole community is involved in building the well, which
means they feel real ownership of it. The young men of the
village take turns to dig a foot of the well at a time.
Asuman, the water technician funded by MRDF,
explains the basics of well-engineering to
the President, including how they make sure
the well is correctly located and deep enough.
The people of Nakeylonga asked the President to take back
their thanks to the MRDF supporters for helping them
to have safe access to clean water.
