Hand Pumps

$45,000

This project is a project of Serving Hands International

Existing wells located at various villages in the South and North Coast of Mombasa.

Overview: Over the years Rotary has managed to dig 30 Water wells in the South and North Coast and other areas. Water continues to be a problem in most areas and the villagers only source of water is from a well or stream near by. Recently, some of the wells were inspected and were found to be serving the villagers well, except they had to work hard to draw the water with the rope and pulley system.

Proposal: To install hand pumps to 22 existing and new wells.

Presently water is drawn by a pulley and rope system. The hand pump would increase the quantity of water drawn, thus serving more people living in the area. The present rope and pulley is difficult to use, time consuming and impractical.

The Afridev hand pump is a proven hand pump used all over the world which works well and requires low maintenance. The pump would benefit a larger population; provide easier access to water, hygienic and safe, especially to children who usually tend to be around while the women draw the water.

Scope: A contractor would be appointed to carry out the necessary installation work.

He will also provide services for cleaning and preparing the well to a standard necessary to install the Pump.

The estimated cost for installing a Hand Pump is as follows:

Cost of Hand Pump: Kshs. 45,000

Installation of Hand pump: Kshs. 30,000

Materials for civil works: Kshs. 40,000

Service existing well: Kshs. 24,000

Total estimate per well: Kshs. 139,000

The total cost of the project would be Ksh. 3,060,000/- ($45,000). This would facilitate installation of 22 hand pumps. We intend to complete the project within 12 months.
