As October rushes by in a haze of heat - we reach the grand total of 300 boreholes since 2015 in the communities of the Luangwa Valley. That's around 60,000 people now with access to clean, safe water. Thank you to our wonderful, brilliant donors, to the fabulous MUSA (our US sister organisation) thank you to the communities who have been so co-operative and welcoming, to the headpersons who worked so hard on behalf of their villages to bring water. But most of all - THANK YOU to the best teams in the world - The Makolekole Drilling Team and the Kakoma Workshop team (mechanics, engineering, welding, logistics and back up)
Our aim is to reach 500 communities so we still have work to do!

We have already drilled 14 community boreholes this year! And this week we are thrilled to welcome some of our wonderful donors from the US who will be visiting the villages which have benefitted from their thoughtful generosity.

At Tabe Village in Mnkhanya, residents were fetching water from an extremely poor source. Thanks to the wonderful Rudnitsky family from Las Vegas in the USA - Makolekole has been able to provide Tabe with a beautiful new borehole. THANK YOU to Abi, Ben and Jessica and thanks to Fidelis Skabala of Makolekole for the great photos. This is just one of more than 250 community boreholes Makolekole has drilled in the Luangwa Valley.
