Help us Bring Safe Water to Binduri Village
The people of Binduri are subsistence farmers. Their food and livelihood depends on the annual harvest.
Here, families live on what they grow and sell or trade surplus produce for other food stuff and necessities. Women and children spend an average of 4 hours everyday fetching water from the nearest source. But it isn’t enough to water their crops, and it isn’t safe for drinking. When brought home the water needs to be boiled first. Even then, the children of Binduri often suffer from diarrhoea.
Giving Binduri a clean water source will jumpstart sustainable development in the community. It will reduce child mortality and sickness through safe water and better sanitation. It will improve agriculture, producing more food and boosting incomes. It will save time, so children can go to school and men and women can work for a living.
Binduri Natinga is located in Upper Eastern Ghana. The village is home to 793 men + 1003 women + 1200 children. Total population = 3000
It costs £5000 to install a borehole and build a hand pump operated water system in Binduri. That’s just you and 9 other people giving £40 a month, for one year. That’s a simple, safe water solution benefitting 3000 people or more indefinitely.
