# An urgent water need!

Just last week, Coach Oswin, who is also my onsite water project manager, brought a very urgent need to my attention. He had traveled several hours to assess a village called Kassapoe, which he was surprised to see has a population of over 1000 people.  What Oswin saw made his stomach turn. The kids were drinking filthy yellow water from a small pond. We were already planning to drill one borehole in the community, but because Kassapoe is so large, Oswin is concerned that having only one will create pressure in the community. We decided to raise another $3500 and install a second borehole with a hand pump in Kassapoe. If you would like to be a part of this project please scan the code, or see giving options below. Thank you!
