Completed. I will try to find more pics.

This borehole in the village of Kalabo has been unusable for most of this year. Before that it produced very little water because as we found out when we removed the pump there were numerous holes in the pipes. The request to African Community Project to help came from the village headman Victor through Mr. Mwale our facilitator for Mungule Community Forest. It was arranged that the community would supply the labour needed to remove the pump from the well and that a tool kit could be borrowed from a neighboring village. After a morning of hard labour pulling the pipes and pump from 50 meters below the surface; the repairs needed were obvious. A split in the pipe was welded at a nearby shop and Mr. Mwale and I took the mini bus into Lusaka to get the pump rebuilt. When we got to Saro’s, the dealer who sold the pumps it was decided to buy a new pump rather than repairing the old worn out one. The cost to rebuild it would have been almost as costly. We can use the old one for parts or exchange later. The next day I returned to the pump site in the village and found the pump reinstalled and in already in use by the women of the village.  With it repaired they would no longer have to walk some distance to get water. Cement blocks and cement were than purchased to repair the apron around the well which was done the following day by the same crew and bricklayer. The crew appreciated the cool drinks bought when the job was completed.
