2022 COMPLETED WELLS
The Sonder Project continues to partner with communities to realize their clean water needs by drilling closed , deep-well boreholes affixed with manual handpumps . Our staff conduct needsassessments in each community we are referred to , which entails meeting with community leaders and walking the community to see all the nearby water sources , as well as gathering a reliable population estimate . If a large enough need exists , then our staff will return for a mass meeting and invite the entire community to review our methodology . For us to drill a well , communities must agree to place the well on public land , create a local committee of an equal number of men and women to oversee the project , collect the sand and gravel necessary to finish the walls and floor , and turn-out at least 150 people to commit to the process . The whole process can take several months , but ultimately leads to greater ownership and sustainability for the project .
In 2022 we drilled our most wells in a single year , and this growth can be attributed to our staff on the ground , the relationships they have forged with communities , governments , and other nongovernmental organizations , as well as the support of people like you .
