On April 25, 2024, Misrey Village celebrated the inauguration of a solar water pump, made possible by the generous donation from Roger & Sharon Eschenroeder, Tom Snitzer, and Water4Mercy. This innovative system delivers 2.6 liters of water per second through 4.183 kilometers of pipes, reaching 7 taps and benefiting 3,380 residents.

The community now stands revitalized and poised for continued growth. Before this transformation, Misrey Village lived a life without clean water. Even the local school had no access to water, forcing students to travel 3 kilometers to the same distant dam to find water. Women and children would walk daily to fetch water from an open source that often ran dry. When this source dried up, they had to travel to another village 6 kilometers away, where water was available in an open riverbed. In severe droughts, they journeyed even further, 11 kilometers to the nearest tap, using bicycles and donkeys. With the installation of the solar water pump, clean water is now readily accessible in Misrey Village. Children can attend school regularly, women have more time for productive activities, and the overall health of the community has dramatically improved. This access to clean water has broken the cycle of hardship, empowering the village to thrive and grow, full of hope and new opportunities for a brighter future.
