Gulu Region: Hope 2 One Life (H2O) and Community Foundation for Development (CFD)
Awere Village Side by Side Ludok Community Farming group.
- this group has probably the most successful farming. They were able to pay a little out to each for Christmas, have some stored to sell when prices go up and have some saved for the next season. It is such a drought here in this dry season and will be for 2 more months. Terence had an idea for a drip irrigation system for vegetable farming from a water hole with a pump. We went across the road to see it after Tom assessed the well we fixed with new pipes and a new pump. Tom excitedly cries, " This is a hydro geologist dream". There is water here! See how these rock formations are sideways - this is rare. Water is between the cracks. An "artesian well" can be drilled and the water would spout free flowing up up up - could go into a tank without the expense of a solar or generator pump!" This could become an amazing farm land!" He even called Draco Drilling - yes it could be done! I say let's do it!! What a find. Now to figure out how to secure the funding to drill the well. Tom will be putting on his thinking cap for this unique opportunity! Praying for this artesian well that will bless these people immensely!
