Churches in the Coventry Diocese have and will probably wish to sponsor water wells and this is to be encouraged. Since this has a double benefit, it provides the much needed clean water throughout the year, but also it underpins and supports the evangelistic activities of the Kaduna diocese who have planted churches in the rural areas.
Wells are dug in April/May which is the end of the dry season. Wells cost about £1000, they are dug in one year, and left open for a further two years to ensure that water can still be obtained. After which they a capped and hand pump installed.
Bore-Holes are used in deeper areas and cost about £3000.
