Source of livelihood saved.

Betty Egor 48 years old of Abongojok Community was diagnosed with typhoid fever in 2016, the health worker  suspected she was drinking water from a contaminated water source because she had three cases in the same year, she was discouraged from drinking from that source, but she had no other option. Their former water source was a stream which was shared with animals. she spent 350,000 (USD 100) to treat the typhoid fever from a private clinic, she sold her cow which was providing milk to her family in order to meet the cost of the three  treatment, “this well has saved me from future selling of my cows for medical treatment”, said Betty Egor.

Harmony Restored

Harriet Akello 21 years of Okunu Ayai  community In December, 2017 i fought with a fellow woman at our former water source and i break my hand.The former water source which was un protected spring was shared by 120 households and was overcrowded and women were always struggling to fetch, Harriet had spent an hour at the water source waiting for her time to fetch but a fellow women who almost came almost at the same time claim she was at the water source before Harriet and she will fetch first they disagreed to the extent of fighting, unfortunately in the struggle she got simple fracture on her hand which was treated at the expenses of the women she fought with , this brought conflict between their families and none of their family members would greet each other, but in the process of drilling them the new well they were made to forgive each since it was a new beginning, we are now living with the other as friends and family, Thanks JF Well Works Africa for bring peace in this village, said, Harriet Akello.
