Well, Pipelines and Cisterns Improve Water Supplies for the Maasai
Tax-deductible donations to the Maasai Cultural Exchange Project Water Fund from US individuals support the drilling of water "bore holes" in the Kenyan bush country known as Maasailand. In the Ngong Hills region the average water bore hole depth is approximately 600 feet. The estimated cost to drill a water well is $40,000, which includes government permits, surveys, pump, cistern and diesel generator.
MCEP received funds for our first well drilling in December 2005. Donations have been contributed for seven wells with a goal of ten water wells to directly benefit the Maasai in the vicinity of Olosho-oibor Kenya.
$40,000 per well includes permits, drilling, generator, pump and cistern
$13,000—Greenhouse (covers approximately one-quarter acre)
$21,000 per mile of galvanized pipeline (for above ground areas)
OR PVC pipelines for underground areas at $1,000 per quarter mile, $2,000 at 1/2 mile or $4,000 at one mile
$120, $300 and $500—Cisterns
Please make your check payable to MCEP, and designate your donation in support of the Water Fund.
