Mandingo village is situated in Tana River county, some kilometres before Semi Karo village in Garsen constituency. Residents here are soleley dependent on Tana River for their water needs. 

In 2022, the water levels in the river went down significantly, forcing residents to walk tens of kilometres daily , just to get water. Thanks to a donation from the family of Mr. Ragip Gazioglu in January 2023, the villagers from Mandingo village now have a water well where they can get water for daily use. 

Semi Karo is located in Garsen, which is in Tana River County in Kenya. It is a multicultural centre with both pastoralist and rural- farming communities, both of whom were badly affected by the drought which led to Tana River drying up.

The Semi Karo Dispensary is a gathering point for these rural communities because it is the biggest health facility in the area- it is for this rerason that we chose the site to drill a borehole. 

We would like to extend our gratitude to the family of Veysel Gazioglu who donated towards this project that was launched in January 2023
