Where There Is No Doctor

Water Supply Project

Duration: 1-4 weeks

Participant: Anyone

We install running water in the villages by bringing spring or water fall to the villages through PVC pipe. Our nature source of water here is spring and water fall in the hills. We lay hundreds of pvc pipe in the hills, bringing water up and down to the villages. The distance between the source of water, spring and water fall, is about 3-7 kilometers. So, we use hundreds of pvc pipe to bring water to the villages. We need 250 pvc pipe to cover one-kilometer distance since one pvc pipe is 4 meters long. 

Once we have water at the village, we store it in water-tanks that is built at the top of the village, from where we split water to every household. 

Budget and Funding for building supplies:

It can be between 2,000-4,500 US$ for one whole water supply system installation for a single village, depending on the distance between the source of water, spring, to the targeted village. 

Water tanks: It costs about 600-850 US$ for one big water-tank to store water from the spring. 

Budget and Funding for building supplies:

Funding for individual and couple: It is 600 US$ or more depending on the type of project you want to do, building one water-tank or building one whole water supply system for a village.

You can either fund a water tank or a whole water supply system.
