HAMBALO COMMUNITY WATER PROJECT

The aim is to pump water from Malbe bali to hambalo village for domestic use

Malbebali water source is approximately 12km from Hambalo village. The site has 2 boreholes; the first one has high salinity that it cannot be suitable for domestic use.

The second borehole and more nearer to Hambalo village has soft water which can be utilized for domestic purposes.

The distance from this borehole to the village is about 12km. this water source is not accessible to the village for domestic use hence compromising the hygiene of the household because if less quantity of water at household level.

The community leaders approached Dr. Pino to support the pumping of this water to the village to reduce the distance trekked for fetching water and time taken to fetch water. 5hisw could relief the burden on women and young girls’ house responsibility is to fetch water.

The water will serve Hambalo village, hambalo primary school, Hambalo Dispensary and the pastoralist herders living within the outskirt of hambalo village.

It was agreed that I plan a visit with water engineer to assess the feasibility and come up with estimated bill of quantity. The engineer has been away for a long time but came for a short stay. I managed to talk to him and we agreed to make a visit to hambalo.
