Our work at the drilling site of Phase 3 of the Laindatang<\/a> Water Connections<\/a> Project<\/strong> in East Sumba<\/strong> exemplifies courage, determination, and perseverance<\/strong> in the face of formidable obstacles<\/strong>. We started this project on February 6, 2024. Despite many challenges, we continue our drilling operations and remain optimistic about achieving positive results.<\/p>\n We felt overwhelmed by despair a few weeks ago, facing days when defeat seemed inevitable<\/strong>. The undertaking related to this drilling is incredibly delicate on physical<\/strong>, moral<\/strong>, and psychological<\/strong> levels. From moving our 7+ ton drill rig<\/a><\/strong> in three failed attempts to drilling<\/a> over a hundred meters deep for each borehole<\/a> while dealing with cave-ins and landslides<\/strong> in the 8-inch wells and discovering rock cracks that caused problems known as \u201cwater loss<\/a>,\u201d tears and pain have been part of this journey. As the saying goes, hardship makes you stronger.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Laindatang<\/a>, our unwavering courage and determination<\/strong> made the impossible a reality, bringing clean<\/a>, life-saving water<\/strong> to those who need it most here\u2026\u201d \u2014 Alex Wettstein, CEO and Founder of Fair Future Foundation.<\/p>\n After the tears came the laughter and smiles. For\u00a0over two weeks, this\u00a0major project<\/strong>\u2014lost in the middle of almost nowhere\u2014the drilling<\/a> activity of\u00a0Laindatang\u00a0<\/a>Water Connection Phase 3<\/strong>\u00a0has yielded\u00a0significant and <\/strong><\/span>encouraging results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Indeed, we have finally found a sufficiently abundant source of clean water<\/a><\/strong> at more than 80 meters deep, transforming our vision into a reality shared by all the village’s inhabitants. Joy, absolute happiness, and massive relief have filled us. Today, thousands<\/strong> of litres of clean<\/a> <\/strong>and uncontaminated water<\/a><\/strong> are pumped daily without interruption thanks to our temporary generator<\/strong>. We are happy and relieved, praying that these weeks of testing will be as conclusive as possible.<\/p>\n It feels like a triumph for us, friends. One must imagine the satisfaction of having succeeded in drilling<\/a> in one of the driest areas on the planet without any means of road transport.\u00a0We even built\u00a0road access of over six kilometres<\/strong> with our bare hands to reach this drilling site<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0Our success is an undeniable testimony to perseverance and unwavering determination<\/strong>, especially when everything seemed impossible along the way.<\/p>\n Our attention now turns to acquiring the pumps<\/a> and solar systems<\/strong> essential for extracting and distributing water through our newly established infrastructure. We count on your support<\/a>, dear friends, to help us secure the funds<\/a> for this vital machinery. Let\u2019s make it happen!<\/strong><\/p>\n With your help<\/a>, we are on the verge of achieving what was once considered unattainable. As a team, we constantly transform optimism into practical measures and are determined not to give up until every person in need<\/strong> can easily access water.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: We are excited to share a link to four documents<\/a> on the Water Connections Laindatang Phase 2 project, addressing malnutrition and infectious diseases. Sharing this report<\/a> is vital as we continue to develop these projects.<\/em><\/p>\n Fair Future<\/a> Foundation<\/strong>\u00a0medico-social camp\u00a0in East Sumba \u2013\u00a0Rumah Kambera<\/a>, Lambanapu \u2013 The 27th of July 2024.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”\/category\/highlighted\/laindatang-2024\/” button_text=”About the Laindatang Water Connections project here…” admin_label=”5.
