Well Drilling
The life giving water
Living in a desert has taught us water is precious. We find well drilling often opens up doors for us to share the Gospel and begin Bible studies in areas where people were previously hostile to the Gospel. We partner with Genesis Water and Water for the World to do drilling. Most well installation is done by Eddie Andersen.
We have worked with two main organizations to dig wells in remote areas of Northern Kenya: Genesis Waters and Water for the World. Well drilling involves consultation with local leaders and acquiring permission from the respective authorities. Once permission is granted, a geological survey is done to ensure success when drilling. At that point a drilling rig from a reputable company is brought to the location. Once water is found, a sample is sent for testing. If the lab approves the sample, a pump may be put in place: either solar or hand pump.
