Minirig has teamed up with Arcadia Reach CIC to help build a new well drilling rig for rural Sierra Leone where safe water is dangerously scarce.

In collaboration with individual communities and local charity Rory’s Well, the new water sources will help create a cycle of sustainable agriculture broken by the civil war, boosting economic prospects as well as saving lives.

In Sierra Leone, life expectancy is 39 years for men and 42 for women. These premature deaths are due to limited access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and hygiene and food insecurity. Child mortality rates remain in the top 10 globally.

The new technology we want to build can put in wells at 30 times the rate of drilling rigs currently in local use. The well drilling rig will be fitted to a 4×4 1974 Mercedes truck to reach villages where there are no roads.
