The school and the surrounding village was in urgent need of clean water, which is why the team from Drop in the Bucket acted quickly after being told about the school, and their lack of clean water, by the district authorities.

Drop in the Bucket drillers were able to hit water at the depth of 50 meters and the water tested clean and safe to drink.
