Dear Deacon Lloyd,

  

     Greetings from Uganda. I am presenting to you a brief report on the two

wells. There is some technical details such as the static level and the

grid that I do not know.

  

REPORT

Water being the need of the people in Malaba where I was working as

their priest until the June 2006 when I was transferred.  As a priest in

Malaba I was never resident. I was commuting every day from the nearby

parish because there was no parihs house.Two places were identified that

were badly in need of clean and safe water. The first place was in

Malaba, Akolodongo Village where eventually the primary school and

parish house came to be erected in 2005. With the availability of clean

and safe water in the village, it is interesting to not that many

families have come to settle around the well

     The parish community, the school children and the surrounding community

have access to the borehole serving approximately 1,500 people and

sometimes the people struggle for the water.

     The borehole many times is over strained because of the many people

using it. The help that you sent us was indeed very timely. It enabled

us to service the well. I have received a report from the priest: Fr.

James Achara who is working there in Malaba that the borehole produces

enough and clean water and it might serve the community for sometime.

The bore hole is located in Malaba Town Council in Akolodongo village

near the border between Uganda and Kenya on the western side of the

country.

     I am very grateful to the parish priest who is now a resident in the

place for taking keen interest to supervise the well so that its used

properly for the service of the entire community.

The second well on the other hand is located in one of the outstations

of St. Jude Catholic Church, Malaba in a place called Kadomoche village,

Mella Sub-County, Tororo District.

     The well has been serving a population of approximately ,1000 people.

The pipes had rusted and the borehole itself was drying up. But with the

help you sent us, we have been able to make the well deeper to access

the water table. The pipes have been cleaned up also and  installed. The

priest on the ground,  a few day ago, called to inform me that the work

was finalized.

     I wish you well and God's abundant blessings.

Fr. Thomas Aquinas
