Our Three Step Process
There is more to the drilling process than meets the eye. One might think it is a matter of digging a hole in the ground and clean water springs up. In reality, every project at Amazi Water follows a detailed 3-step process to support success.
Read below each step to learn more about how we go from picking the site to maintaining it.
Select, Assess, and Survey the Site
Step 1 - Select Assess and Survey the Site
- Site Selection — Gain approval from the Provisional Water Authorities. Form a water committee made up of community members.
- Assessment — Evaluate local water source and assess the effects of poor water quality on area health and agriculture: and research population and demographics.
- Survey — A hydrogeologist surveys the site for a water source that is both viable and easily accessed by community members.
Train and Equip Community Members
Step 2 - Train and Equip Community Members
- WASH — Community training on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH).
- Training — Equip community members on the successful use of water pumps.
- Share the Gospel — During a training session, our staff shares the good news of Jesus —the Living Water. This step is central to our work.
Drill, Design, Construct, & Maintain
Step 3 - Drill, Design, Construct, & Maintain
- Drill — An Amazi Water construction team of engineers and hydrogeologists drill, water test, case, and cement the new water well and pump.
- Open the Well — The community comes together for a ceremony to celebrate the provision of clean water through their new well.
- Maintenance and Reporting — Three months after the well opening, local staff members conduct a follow-up visit to ensure the well is in working order. The local team also responds to maintenance requests via a national hotline.
