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 £500, they are dug in one year and capped to prevent dust and debris getting into well. They are checked for a further two years to ensure that water can still be obtained. If not then additional digging and rings are put in.
Bore-Holes are used in deeper areas and cost about £3000.
Below is a table and map of Kaduna state showing the water wells that have been installed following donations from various churches in the Coventry Diocese.
