Last week, a fellow PCV and good friend of mine, Garrison, came down to help install a well pump in my town. This is one of 52 pumps being installed in 52 weeks - a large and ambitious project in collaboration with many PCVs and Appropriate Projects.
The setup: NGO funds the actual pump, the community provides the rest of the materials and labor for installation. For under $70, a women's group can now water their gardens quicker and more efficiently. Check out the project description and project blog here:
