Village of MatsangoniA meeting with the community of Matsangoni village about the
installation of the waterpump.
Repairing the old pump for the time beingThe village had a ‘Indian’ waterpump installed which was broken for 6
months. So, the people had to collect water 20 km away. We where waiting for the Blue waterpump to be installed but they where out of
stock. We finally decided to work with Davis & Shirtliff who could deliver in time and are closer by in case the pump gets broken.
WATERFinally we could get water out of the pump after a two days job of
repairing the waterpump.
The new waterpump and watertowerA small cabin was build to put the watertank of 4000 liters on top and
inside is space for generator.
The watertap for fetching the waterA tap was installed and connected to the watertank. So, people can tap
water from the watertank.
The generatorThe generator was put inside filled with approximately 15 liters of petrol.
Davis and Shirtliff installing the waterpumpOn a Thursday Davis and Shirtliff came with their truck with all the
materials for the installation of the waterpump.
The pipes for the waterpumpBefore installing the waterpump the pipes to and for the pump have to be installed. Total length of the pipes in the waterhole is approximately
32 metres.
The waterpumpA German waterpump. Looks very small but it is a submersive pump
which does a lot of hard work.
Cleaning the waterholeWhile Davis & Shirtliff where making the pump ready for installation the other people where cleaning the waterhole. So, the pump gets into an
clean area.
Installing the waterpumpAll the preparations where done and now the final installation could be
done!
Official launch of the waterpumpThe villagers where curious and very happy the pump was officially installed and
they could fetch water. This pump is sufficient enough for 600 people. Matsangoni has a population of 6000 people this means, that foundation
Pamoja Kenia needs approximately 11 more pumps. The next pump will be installed near the school. To realize this project the foundation needs a total of €
6000,-.
