PROJECT SUMMARY
Drinking water is very scarce in Nokna. Currently, women are walking up to 2 hours, over very hilly terrain, to collect water 2 to 3 times a day. When they arrive, they have to wait in long lines to obtain enough water for family use as the existing handpump well runs out of water and takes 30 to 60 minutes to recharge. Tina and the Times Square Arts Center has partnered with Nokna to repair and deepen the primary well in Nokna by 20 feet. Her project will give families better access to drinking and cleaning water and alleviating the strain put on existing water resources. A parapet safety barrier and a pulley system will also be constructed in order to ensure women and children are able to safely collect water from the well.
