10 wells in Tân Phú commune, 12 wells in Thới Bình commune and 8 wells in Tân Hưng Đông. The Association recently received donation to build 10 more wells.
The rural areas of Cà Mau is surrounded by water which are salty from the ocean. In order to access clean water wells, we needed to dig 110 – 150 m deeper.
… Hearing the gratitude of each family, we wish our benefactors was present to feel and be joyous with the family as pure water pumped out from the well. Images of old and young people, excitedly bathing together, elderly people, people with disabilities, and large families with water sources at home. The benefactors’ contribution is very meaningful! We saved many people and families from severe illness because they had to use pond water, rivers full of rubbish, polluted water to bathe, wash clothes …
Each well will be used by many surrounding families. Because the water is polluted and it is a dry season, it is a bit difficult to find a good spring. The well must dig deep to 110-120M, some places up to 150M so all well systems must have pumps (each family buys their own pumps). It is true ‘pure water wells’! Tu Bi Foundation would like to express our sincere gratitude to local volunteers and ACE at Ca Mau Buddhist Charity Committee, for working so thoughtfully and choosing families very accurately. Despite the rain and sun, they have come to the place to help the people in the needy areas.
Much appreciation to our benefactors and volunteers
Tu Bi Foundation
