After three failed attempts the successful Kiloleni borehole had to be 2.8km from the clinic. A solar powered pumping system will be needed to transfer the water to the clinic at a cost of £14,000. Two fundraising walks hope to raise this sum.
1. Sunday 10th July, Cornwall / Devon walk
The walk organiser is Julie Overnell. "From Plymouth the 70A bus will take us to the start at Tregantle Fort (Whitsand Bay, Cornwall) via Torpoint ferry.
The coastal path back is via the Cremyl passenger ferry, finishing at Plymouth Hoe".
2. Saturday 10th September, South Downs walk
The walk organiser is Isabel Heycock. "It will be a 15 mile circular walk starting near Cuckmere Haven and taking in Alfriston and Firle Beacon".
This was to raise money for providing the clinic and new maternity unit at Kiloleni
with a reliable source of clean water.
Well over £8000 was raised, a great success. With help from other FUM funds a borehole has been successfully drilled to provide a reliable supply of much needed good quality water.
