Here is the little (quick) video I said I would share to show their process of drilling shallow wells in sand. They taught themselves after watching someone else drill a well - such a cool and creative group of guys!

Looking at the full picture, there is a lot of work to be done to protect these shallow wells - especially with regard to latrine designs (composting would be ideal in this community). We learn first in a new location and then we start to share ideas after.

The community of 68 homes is called “Cebollito” which translates to “little onion” 😊 This community was so cool! We are hosting two missionaries, Colin and Cade, from Water for All - trying to help them find an appropriate area to potentially set up a program. In searching for communities in need of wells, we were brought to Cebollito. At first, we thought we could help them BUT it turns out that they figured out a way to drill their owns wells and can do it quickly and efficiently. They spent the morning demonstrating the process as we (but mostly they) drilled a new well at the church 💧 💜

This was another colab day with all the organizations. Erik from Operation Jabez made the connection to the community, Nim and Estefania from Power at Work drove everyone in the truck so they could gift picnic tables, Colin, Cade and I were there to learn their drilling method and find out how we could help (we did find a huge need for sanitation and better protection for the finished well).

I first met Dr. Sarah in 2022 after my Hydromissions’ Ugandan teammate, Washington, installed water tanks at her clinic. She was incredibly grateful and immediately began using the tanks to provide water for her patients. But with the number of people she serves daily, including patients who stay overnight in her clinic, we knew a borehole well would be the better long-term solution.

Sarah didn’t wait around. On her own, she hired local drillers to try and make it happen, but the well they drilled never produced water. The rocky ground around her clinic also made it impossible for our auger tools to work.

For years, we kept trying little by little.

Finally, after receiving a large enough donation, we were able to fully commit to drilling a well at her clinic. The well was successfully drilled, but another challenge remained: the cost of an electric pump. Eventually, we were able to provide a solar pump, giving the clinic a reliable year-round water source.

Now there are taps outside the clinic serving not only her patients, but the surrounding community as well.

Usually I only show the exciting “finished product,” but stories like this remind me that many projects take years of persistence, prayer, funding, and small steps forward before we finally reach the goal.

Jovi, headteacher of Kyambogo Buruli Primary School in rural Uganda, has spent years leading her students through challenges many people rarely have to think about. In her community, access to water is not as simple as turning on a faucet. For years, students and teachers often depended on unsafe or unreliable water sources, and valuable school time was lost just trying to collect water for drinking, cooking, and handwashing.

Over time, Hydromissions partnered with the school to bring lasting change. First came a rainwater catchment system, helping the school collect water during the rainy seasons. Later, a water filter improved the safety of the water students were drinking. Finally, after years of waiting, prayer, and fundraising, a borehole well was installed on the school grounds in partnership with “The Feed African Children fund” (who supplies feeding programs to some of the schools where we provide water systems).

What may sound like a simple construction project can transform an entire community. The borehole well means children can spend more time learning instead of walking long distances to fetch water. It means fewer illnesses caused by contaminated water. It means teachers can focus on education instead of daily survival needs. It also brings dignity, stability, and hope to families who have lived without reliable access to clean water.

Today, the borehole well provides the school with the clean water it needs every day, giving hundreds of students at Kyambogo Buruli Primary School the opportunity for healthier lives, better education, and a stronger future.
