Project Overview
Access to safe and reliable water is a fundamental need for the well-being of rural communities. In Kesser Kunda, residents identified improved water access as a priority during community consultations.
The Fuladu Foundation supported the drilling and installation of a solar-powered borehole system designed to provide sustainable and reliable water access for households in the village.
The system includes a deep borehole, solar-powered pump, elevated water storage tanks, and community standpipes that allow residents to access clean water near their homes.
