Well well

The Eastleigh Community Centre is seeing a much anticipated answer to prayer today as water flows from a bore hole well being dug on the Eastleigh compound.

Children playing and dodging foamy water from the digging spill way, as the bore hole crew dig the 230 meter well.

The digging crew began their work last Friday and anticipate that the well will be completed and delivering water in another week. The community centre will use the well to supplement the water needs of the centre that serves over a thousand people every day within the various programs and projects that run within the compound. The well will also provide low cost water for distribution to vulnerable community members during times of shortage within the city. Access to clean water is an extremely important ministry in places like Eastleigh.

A young boy shows us some of the "fizzy water" that he captured from the drilling run off. "Why is it so white?" we asked him. "I don't know! But I'm taking it home to show my sister!"

In Prayer:
We thank God for the generous contributions of Kindernothilfe that made this well project possible. We pray that God might use this well to meet the physical needs of many vulnerable families within this community who do not have reliable access to water, and that through this project that the love and hope of God would flow through this community.
