Water Condition Before And After the Well: The villagers used to get water for their domestic use from hand dug wells which are not a safe source of water, as they are exposed and therefore subject to contamination. 85% of Kibebe residents have been sick due to water related diseases. 

After befriending Bibi Aurelia and her family, as well as other members of the community, Tennille and Alexi decided to drill a clean water well in Kibebe. The well has had some complications with parts needing to be replaced in 2014, but E.P.I.C. hired a local team to make sure that it was fixed, so it continues to provide clean water to the community. 

DONATE TO BE THE CHANGE

100% of all donations go towards clean water wells and community development.
