Because traditional<\/a> wells are often more reliable and last longer than any modern small-scale water supply system.<\/p>\n Most wells today are centuries old and still working.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor someone that has to go as far as 10 kilometres to fetch water, a single well close could mean the world. You may not appreciate it but we can\u2019t stand and watch our people suffer. We are looking for ways to ameliorate their situation as we figure out a lasting solution.\u201d<\/p>\n This time we are going outside the box to construct 10 Deep Wells in 10 rural towns and villages of Toro LGA.
