Pudyek Village in the Gulu District of Uganda had no clean water within a reasonable walking distance. While other parts of Gulu town have piped water, the pipes don’t yet reach this area. Before the well, the village’s only water source was a waterhole. Unfortunately this water was neither clean nor safe for drinking.
In May of 2022, Drop in the Bucket drillers arrived in Pece village armed with a hydro-geological survey that said there was a good chance we would be able to reach water there. Our team drilled 52 meters down and was able to reach the aquifer after just one afternoon of drilling.
