Outreach - Well-Digging Rig

International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is assisting villagers to recover by restoring one of Houla, Lebanon's wells by installing a pump at the well's base and adding an electrical board. It was a difficult and complex project partly because of the depth of the well. One of the IOCC infrastructure managers explained that the well is nearly 2,000 feet deep. The South Lebanon Water Authority, which has authority for municipal water projects, is typically only willing to work on wells half that deep. The repaired well will now provide 40% of the village's water supply.
