Clean water Kenya
The well that moved the market
When a borehole arrived in Lodwar's outer quarter, the vegetable traders moved with it. Amina Akiru explains what changed and what got harder.
Clean water Completed Guatemala Since 2022 · ended 2024
Highland wells, handed over
Twenty-six community well systems drilled, handed to the district, and tracked for a year.
This program was built to end. Wells were drilled and equipped between 2022 and 2024, and every system was transferred to the district water authority with trained operators, spare-part inventories and a published service standard.
We kept tracking uptime for a full year after handover because a handover that fails quietly is worse than no handover at all. The results below are the final audit, published so other funders can copy the model or the mistakes.
- Drill and equip twenty-six community well systems in the western highlands
- Train district operators and transfer every system with spare parts and records
- Reach 27,000 people with safe water before handover
- Publish a full handover audit, including what failed
Latest reported values against this year's targets. A value below target stays visible — it is never rounded up or hidden.

|---|---|---|---|
| People served at handover | 27,500 | 27,000 | |
| Systems handed to public operator | 26 | 26 | |
| Uptime in first year after handover | 97% | 90% |
This program is completed — its final year budget was folded into the annual report and no open budget remains.
