the new well

they have started drilling!!! we are so excited!  it is amazing to see it all take shape.  we wish we could be there, but serge is doing a great job taking care of it all on the african end.  he has taken some pictures and sent them to us.  as you look through the pictures it is incredible to see the people that are watching it and think they will have clean water for the rest of their lives!

this is the type of well that we will be building for July

These farmers would have stable fair income if they sold their cashew seed to our factory.  Their families would forever be changed, they would be able to provide education and medical aid to their families.  Projects for Progress will be life changing for them!

We have received a donation $15,555 to build our first well!!! They will begin surveying the land next week.  We have also decided on our outreaches for the summer.  We will be doing a local soccer tournament and a work with a local girls orphanage.  We are going to do a princess party, have lunch brought in, provide rice and oil for them longterm wise, and then hopefully present them with some dining tables also.

The beginning

Welcome to Projects for Progress!!!
