Millions of people living in rural and urban Sierra Leone rely on water wells or boreholes for their daily water needs. The general objective of this project is to provide fifty boreholes to schools, hospitals, orphanage homes, and deprived communities in five districts with safe drinking water. This project will help to enhance the lives of the people living in these areas, thus uplifting their standards of living through pure, dignified, and safe drinking water.
