A project such as drilling a well to a depth of more than 60m, in the middle of nowhere, in an area where no one has access to water, is a challenge that requires working with the local community. Due to these few 15 days of preparation, we had to go to the site every day, tackle the roads that are not, remember to bring all the equipment, organise, demonstrate great adaptability and resistance : Fatigue, climate. But what immense happiness today! This is the ultimate reward, the joy of seeing the smiles on the faces of these villagers: They are going to have water very soon! These few images show the work we carried out during the 15 days preceding the start of the drilling, which began yesterday November 08, 2021. A project leaded by 🇨ðŸ‡@fairfuturefoundation and 🇮🇩@kawanbaikindonesia, from the field in #sdmbinudita and from our Base Camp of #rumahkambera (East Sumba and Denpasar). Those last few 15 day, an access had to be opened in order to transport the equipment on site, certainly more than a ton of material and drilling equipment. Nearly 1500m across virgin fields, tall grass, land, and dealing with the relief of the land. Note that no vehicle had previously entered the site of this drilling and it took us an hour to arrive at the site we had chosen last month. An immense feeling of having arrived in a sort of "promised land", where water will soon ⛲spring up! It was also necessary to build a place so that the drillers can spend about 15 days on the site, including sleeping, eating, washing, cooking... But also finding solutions to bring and store the nearly 💧20'000 litres of water it takes to drill a well over 60 meters deep. In this community live more than 200 families who do not have access to water or sanitation solutions. Therefore the enthusiasm is formidable, a surge of solidarity is triggered spontaneously, and the help of these poor families in terms of economy, is very touching. #fairfututurefoundation #kawanbaikindonesia #water #wateraccess #cleanwateraccess #sumbatimur #NTT #Switzerland #SwissNGO #drillingwell #sustainablesolutions #makeadondation #donateforfairfuture (at Sd Mbinu Dita) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWCrM5Il5jz/?utm_medium=tumblr
