Water is life!

Great: HOREMI has got its own water hole and there­fore easy access to fresh water directly on site.

Finally HOREMI can enjoy its own water supply! With finan­cial support from the Friends of HOREMI and a local Turkish aid orga­ni­za­tion, a well was drilled, a stable pumping station built and a simple mechan­ical pump installed. A total of eleven workers were busy for several weeks, including repairing the drilling machine …

The workers had to drill around 17 meters (57 feet) deep before they hit the water.

Washing, cleaning, cooking, drinking: until now, the water to supply the orphanage and the elemen­tary school, which opened at the begin­ning of 2024, had to be labo­ri­ously brought in using jerry cans. This extremely stren­uous and time-consuming lugging is now a thing of the past. In the middle of the court­yard and there­fore easily acces­sible for everyone, a mechan­ical hand pump delivers drinking water in suffi­cient quan­tity and good quality. And it’s not just the HOREMI team that is happy about this progress: in the spirit of good neigh­bor­li­ness, people from the surrounding commu­nity can also get fresh water at any time.

Finally our own water! The new pump is inau­gu­rated together.

Please help now so that HOREMI can ensure the basic care of their protégés. Your dona­tion helps, thank you!
