I am happy to inform you about the current situation at the GOA Children Home Beat The Drum.

After we found water in May, it took about two months to install all the pipes and distribute the water to all the houses on the site. The two tanks have also been installed. The drilling company did an exemplary job.

There is still great joy about this “water miracle” at the children’s home. The good quality of the water has been confirmed. It is 40 degrees Celsius when it is pumped up!

Now the water can be stored in the two tanks. This provides a reserve of drinking water for the children and staff, as well as for the two cows, a few goats and chickens.

The home’s director is very grateful that they no longer have to obtain water by truck.

Your donation is still very welcome to cover the total costs of CHF 25,400.00.

In April 2024, I started a second project called Plant and Eat. This project involves all seven GOA Children’s Homes.

The plan is to improve the planting around the homes. Vegetable seedlings, new fruit trees, chicken coops and the cultivation of their own grain will improve the homes’ self-sufficiency.

I have found a reliable partner for this project in Peter Muchiri, an agronomist.

Two large black water tanks

On 13 May 2024, I arrived at the GOA Children Home Beat The Drum. The drilling company Marine Well had already set everything up and began drilling immediately.

The drilling location had already been determined in February. During my visit at that time, Jesus Christ had shown me the exact location and also specified the drilling depth of 170 metres. I then organised and financed the drilling work from Switzerland (GOA had already carried out three unsuccessful drillings on the site, so further drilling was no longer possible through the organisation).

The prediction came true exactly. After three days, the drilling depth of 170 metres was reached. The 5-metre-long pipes, each weighing 130 kg, were removed.

On 16 May, the water level was checked. There was no fountain, as is sometimes the case elsewhere. An echo sounder detected water at a depth of 132 metres in the 170-metre-deep borehole. Everyone involved breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced.

Further investigations followed: water was pumped out to determine how quickly the water level would return to its previous level.

It got even better: the water level rose to 144 metres. This was a clear sign that there was sufficient water available. The water was approximately 40 degrees Celsius and of good quality.

A few days later, there was a big celebration: a Celebration of Joy (an expression of joy, a festival with music, singing and food) and trees were planted to mark the occasion.

Now there is still a lot to do with the installation of pumps, pipes and a tank. Many thanks go to the drilling company, whose boss I met personally and whose team worked very well together.

My joy is immense! The fulfilment of what I learned from Jesus in February is wonderful. Now there is no longer any need to buy water with the tanker truck!
