- 17 volunteers from engineering and environmental consultancy Scott Wilson fly to the dry community of Malaika in Kenya to build a sand dam - a simple concrete structure built across the river bed to capture water and seasonal rain.
The sand dam we built will provide water for up to 10,000 people in the local community. Many children will benefit.
The sand dam project was set up by the Scott Wilson Millennium Project, a charity wholly run and supported by the staff at Scott Wilson. The charity is focused on the relief of poverty, hardship and distress among children in developing countries across the world. - Jak na to + styl
Very good people, thank you guys & girls. From Bangladesh
Need a follow up video when it is actually raining
I wish more people would watch this - the people in Kenya are thoroughly inspiring, and this solution to a water need is infinitely more sustainable than drilling wells!
This recharges underground water and in a few season dry wells would start having water all over again, definitely the way to go.
i am viewing this in 2020 too bad there isnt a update as sabina bartel rerquested .
Is there no update? You might get extra funding if you proved your efforts worked!
Interesting project, it is more impactful if video after construction would have been incorporated!
I proud you
i am sure it is being maintained by the local people
Why don't help our village to construct at least 2 sand dams in our main river - Mwitasyano, Machakos, Kenya?
No need help..just collect a bunch of stone and throw in the stream path.
I would like to try this in the poorest Native American Lands (with one water source poisoned by Pipeline spills) and small communities with the most poisonous water sources in the United States> Like Pine Ridge Reservation and Flint Michigan>>>
Yes, do it .
Please watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
and the 17 air fares if they were donated would have built another dam people having a jolly on the back of the troubles of others
You raise millions of dollars-pay yourselves high salaries, buy plane tickets for volunteers and spend a pittance on the actual video- whiles taking all the ‘nice’ pictures and then say that’s how you change the World 🌍
Nicky I tend to agree how many bags of cement can you buy for 14 return plane tickets ans salaries to the UK
It is better than nothing,believe you me!
The promo video helps raise awareness and raise more money to build the damns and water structures. Yes they pay themselves a healthy salary but that’s their privilege
And yes the 17 engineering consultants from Europe do need to fly there to teach 60 locals how to build the damn. They designed it. They have to oversee its done correctly
