Over one sixth of the world do not have access to safe water. Clean accessible drinking water is a luxury in many parts of east Africa. Many people suffer sickness and death due to water borne diseases. Valuable hours are lost fetching dirty water long distances. Children miss out on valuable school time in pursuit of water.

Clean, accessible drinking water is a basic human right essential to life. Please support Fields of Life as we
help people in East Africa achieve adequate supplies of drinking water leading to improved health and better
standards of living.

Through Nicholas Jordan's initiative of Wells of Life, Fields of Life is committed to addressing the vital need of supplying safe, clean drinking water. The provision of water to the communities where we have established
schools along with the vulnerable and marginalised groups, especially the women and children, is our primary concern.

We are so grateful to friends from Bangor and Saintfield for helping us drill two wells and to a local business in Belfast for sponsoring twenty wells at a cost of £5,400/ €8,000. Drilling has commenced and six wells
have been drilled to date. The excitement in the villages is fantastic and here is one report from a community which has a fresh, clean water supply.

"In 2007 we received news that our friends in Fields of Life were going to dig a borehole for our school, Kiti
Parents Primary School, and the community.

It was the best news as we had never thought of having a borehole because of its high cost, yet we had only
one spring well which had dirty brown water.

Water has been a big problem in our community. The day the technicians started was joyous and villagers around gathered to witness the event. It took only one week and four days to have a completed borehole.

On completion people were asking the school staff members as to whether they could have access to the clean water and we assured them that the borehole was for the whole community.

Some people were heard saying, ‘It has been a big turning point for our village', others said ‘We shall never to to fetch the dirty water', others again said ‘This is a miracle - we cannot believe it'.

Some aged people who could not fetch water because of the long distance, now say they are to fetch water themselves.

As I write this, people from almost four villages come to collect water from the borehole. We thank our
friends of Fields of Life for the generous spirit they have shown us not only with the borehole but with
everything.

Special thanks to our friends in Ireland.

May God bless them."
