Water Pumps and Wells
In 2009 the Lord started to take Driekus on a journey of water pump designing. At first he had no idea where this journey would be taking him.
The first pump failed to deliver a single drop of water, but it delivered a whole lot of valuable lessons and technical information.
Today there is a new cylinder completed and tested to be able to deliver water from a depth of 30 meters, but our aim is to work towards deeper wells also.

RUHATWE WELL
We have started digging our first well at Ruhatwe. We made slow progress at first, then after making some alterations to our digging bit, we managed to get down to 4 meters. We have encountered a gravel bed which has made digging difficult, so we have made a new bit for digging in gravel.
