Water at Roche!
After tremendous effort on our local team's part, we now have a submersible pump and a generator to pump water 350-meters to our 2500-liter water storage tank on-site. This will be tested and used for construction in the short-term. Because of the heavy rain season, the delivery truck bringing the tank couldn't get to the site. The first image shows villagers rolling the tank 4 meters to the site. The other images show the installation of the tank and the first showing of fresh water.
