Improved Water Project

80 households benefited

Our greatest thanks to Libby, Rachael and Courtney Johnson

In 2014, the village development committee approached us and asked for our help to construct an Improved Water Project that would benefit over 80 households in the village of Pumdi and surrounding areas. This project consisted of constructing a new pipe system which would carry water throughout the villages. The new pipe system would allow access to water for longer periods of time during the dry season, allowing more water to be used for gardens, cooking and washing. This project also included building a water reserve tank.

Jay Johnson was a well respected man in Washington State, he was an admired community member and a family man with a wonderful wife Libby and their beautiful daughters Rachael and Courtney. He served his community by being the local Fire Chief in the small quaint town of Stevenson, WA. While here, Jay got a reputation of being the “go to guy” for big projects and for helping those in need. Jay also worked for the local dam that ran along the Columbia River, this dam provided electricity to the local communities, so this Water Reserve Project in Nepal coincides with the job that he loved most! And the one that provided for his family. Thanks to the Johnson Family for your extremely generous donation for the water reserve project!
