Description:

Partnering with ELD to provide micro financing for the digging and construction of a well. This project is designed to enable the residents of Leshuta to have access to safe and clean water. This project would be a partnership with the people in the village of Leshuta, tribal leaders, local government, as well as ELD.  

Why:

The community depends on pastoralism as their main source of livelihood. Much of the livestock is dying, as well as widespread sickness for the people, due to a lack of access to clean water. Providing this well can provide irrigation for crops and livestock, as well as combating water-born disease, removing the burden of transporting water from the village women, and freeing children to seek an education rather than assist hauling water from miles away.
