It has Begun! Building a well for GRACE!!!

Fount of Mercy is happy to announce that we are moving forward with building a well for Grace. Through a donation from First Baptist Archer City, we will be building the well via the Busoga Trust Water Development.

The Benefits in working with Busoga Trust include:
1. They have been doing this for over 25 years, they have a good reputation
2. They are located in Nkozi, which is the same subcounty as the village
3. They will gather community support
4. They will organize a time for community sensitization
5. They will help people to properly care for the well and sanitation
6. They will ensure that it is done in a way that the community can support it

After a geological survey is conducted we will know more about the water table, what type of water source is most appropriate, and where it is the most appropriate. When this is finished, we will know how much building the well will cost. This is great news! Hopefully the well will be built by the time First Baptist Archer City arrives this summer :) See pic below to understand how badly they need a new well. Notice the color of the water and how stagnant the water is.
