Challenge
Issue: Communities served by The Salvation Army East Territory faced critical deficiencies in clean water access, threatening health, sanitation, and overall quality of life.
Need: An urgent, large-scale project was required to rapidly improve water access by both creating new sources and restoring non-functional existing ones.
Solution
Action: Geo Blue Engineering partnered with The Salvation Army East Territory to undertake a major, multi-faceted water access initiative.
Execution:
New Supply: Successfully drilled two (2) brand new boreholes to establish new, reliable water sources in underserved areas.
Restoration: Conducted thorough rehabilitation of four (4) existing boreholes, restoring their functionality and maximizing the use of prior infrastructure investments.
Scale: This comprehensive approach addressed both quantity (new sources) and sustainability (restoring existing sources).
Outcome
- Impact: The combined effort of drilling and rehabilitation yielded a massive improvement in clean water availability across the serviced communities.
- Beneficiaries: The project directly enhanced access to clean water for over 5,000 households.
- Result: The successful completion continues to transform lives by significantly enhancing health, dignity, and community resilience in the areas served by The Salvation Army.
