Clean water is essential for health and yet too many people the world over lack this fundamental necessity.
Our current water project in Sierra Leone - building a water well for the Rokupa Hospital is Dr. Turray´s dream. He works
at This hospital and serves some of the poorest community members, including many children and women in and around Freetown.
One of the main hinderances to his helping the patients at Rokupa is a lack of running water. This means there is no water
when a woman is delivering her baby or for a nurse after examining an AIDS patient. There is no water for washing the floors
and beds, cleaning medical equipment or for the patients to drink.
We would like to provide a well that will allow the hospital to have access to water anytime during day and night, through
a simple pump system. The cost is $6000.00 and its implementation will have a large effect on the health and sanitation to
the patients at the hospital and save many lives. If you would like to make a donation to the water well project, please
designate it on the donations page under "Rokupa Water Well."
