In order to be sustainable, MBP digs a well for every nursery built, near each community to provide water during the dry season. The building of these wells are all hand dug. There is no electrical power or cranes used, only man power! Here you see the men putting in concrete cylinders for the sides of the well, so that it does not collapse.
