Christmas/New Year
project:
TO BUILD NEW WATER SUPPLY
FOR FAMILIES IN NEED IN BAN BPATIA VILLAGE, BUNTHARIK DISTRICT, UBON
RATCHATHANI PROVINCE
Amount needed to raise:
110,000-160,000 Thai Baht
(approx AUD $4,400-$6,400)
Goal:
1st
January 2015
(in
order to have a tank and pump installed by the time the dry season
arrives in February)
A
small percentage of the very group who will be blessed with better
water supply
The need
Presently, there is not enough
water supply for the families in Ban Bpa Tia, especially in the dry
season. This leads to water being turned on for only a short time
each day. The families who don't get to collect water in that time
have no water to use until it is turned on again.
The water that is supplied
collects rust and dirt as it travels through old pipes.
Some families in the outskirts of
the village have had their entire water supply cut off in order to
provide more water for the majority of the village which will cause
major problems for them in the dry season.
Drinking water and water for other
usage is therefore not enough, as the shortages and fact that the
water is turned on only for a small percentage of each day makes it
very hard for families to receive the amount of water that they
need.
Why do we want to help?
To be an example of the love and
concern that God has for the people in the village.
To give us an opportunity to share
the Good News in the village.
To help the villagers with a
cleaner, life-giving resource that they desperately need in this
time.
To give us more opportunities to
build relationships with the people in the village who we have been
trying to build connections with for 6-7 years.
To strengthen the ministry we have
been building in the village.
To be an example of unity and
helping eachother in a place where people are forgetting to do so.
To help many of the families in
the village who are facing problems in water shortage before the dry
season comes.
Breakup of the cost to
provide water supply - 2 pumps (a, b) that need replacing and a tank
and other supplies that need to be installed:
5,000 Baht = Cost of hiring people to
pull out the old pump (a) that has been cut off
22,000 Baht = New pump in the case that
the old pump (a) cannot be fixed, or less than this to cover the
cost of fixing the old pump (a)
30,000 Baht = Water pipes
6,000 Baht = Cost of hiring electricians
to install a new pump
35,000 Baht = Water tank
13,000 Baht = Cost of new pump for 6
houses (plus the temple) on the outskirts of the village whose
seperate shared water pump (b) is no longer working and cannot be
fixed
Total: 110,000 Baht (simple water
supply)
However, if we can raise another 50,000
Baht to buy metal and build a stand for the tank to be placed 15-20
metres off the ground, this will cause the water supply to flow to
the village faster.
50,000 Baht = Metal for 15-20 metre
stand to hold the water tank
Total: 160,000 Baht (faster water
supply)
