Water Condition Before And After the Well: Before the well, people in the village used to collect water from a nearby stream that was filled with frogs, and animal feces. There was a really big problem with alcoholism in the community, and a lot of people were suffering from water-borne diseases.

After the well, E.P.I.C. has developed a really great relationship with the community, and the Headmaster of the local school. We visit frequently and have plans to support with further community development.

​

This well is dedicated to the late Jordan Gerber, in honor of all of his support for E.P.I.C. while he was alive.
