Clean water as the beginning of a Relationship

18th March 2019

The installation went well though we had to fill in the stones in drain and soak way. They were told to do so in advance but it seems understanding was difficult to many villagers. This made us to spend more time installing one well.  Besides water problem in the village, there are also some challenges like poverty. They depend on farming for their daily living but they have little produce because they grow their plants without applying fertiliser, so we need our farm people to go there and teach them  how we grow maize without fertiliser or pesticides, using only Tephrosia and other nitrogen fixing plants.
