Ras Kutani - Community Update

With the season at Ras Kutani in full swing, time was taken to deliver some generous donations from one of our guests to the clinic and school at Gomvu village, where many of our staff hail from. The nurses were extremely happy with the supplies they received, and the children eager to use their new books and pencils that were donated.

The final stop was to the well which Ras Kutani is digging to provide another water source for the local communities. The team have been working tirelessly, and as can be seen in the pictures, dug some 16 metres so far, where signs of water are promising. Labour intensive, the well has taken some three weeks to dig, and Deus and his team believe that another 5 metres will be sufficient for water to be found. That's a hole 21 metres deep!

'Well' done to Deus and his dedicated team.

We have plans to construct a manual pipe and pump system where water can be drawn through a feeder tap and this will benefit the communities that surround Ras Kutani and provide much needed water for the families that co-exist in the villages. Plans are also underway to donate a microscope to the clinic at Gomvu village, as well as sourcing sufficient malaria test kits to make it easier for diagnosis for those seeking accurate medical treatment.
