Access to clean drinking water remains a dream for millions

875 village residents now have a new clean safe drilled water well. Mrs. Venkatamma says: "Before the installation of this bore, I was very stressed because I had to prioritize water collection with attending work on time. Now I can attend work on time without the pressure and bring more money home for my family. This hand pump give the entire community plenty of water at all times."

Salang, a village in the mid mountain region of Nepal lost its water source after the devastating 2015 earthquake. The villagers, mostly women and female children often queued for hours each day to fetch their daily water needs after trekking many kilometres uphil. BridgIT provided a gravity fed water system to a secondary school and various village households points. A total of 527 people now have access to a safe drinking water supply

If this new borehole had not been installed, we would have been in a crisis. We were suffering great hardships fetching water many km's away, especially the women. The new hand pump means our situation is much easier as we can now get sufficient safe drinking water at our door steps. We assure you that we will maintain the borehole perfectly. The health worker educated us how to keep safe water, cleaning hands and our environment clean and tidy. Now our children are attending school on time.
