A new well has been installed in Bhalwahi Village, Udaypur District, East Nepal, where people from mixed groups live together in one community. The economic conditions in this village are very poor, and most residents depend on labor work and farming to provide for their families. The village is densely populated, but many households do not have their own wells, making access to clean and reliable water a constant struggle. 

Before the new well was installed, families without a water source had to depend on private wells owned by others. However, these wells were small and could not meet the needs of the many people living in the village. Getting enough water for daily use—such as washing, bathing, and cleaning—was difficult and often stressful. In addition, some well owners would not allow others to collect water at night, which made the problem even worse. Many families were forced to wait until morning to collect water, and even then, it was not always easy to get the amount they needed. 

Because water was limited and not easily accessible, maintaining hygiene and cleanliness was a serious challenge. 

Families often struggled to wash clothing, keep their homes clean, and care for their personal hygiene. The lack of water also affected visitors and farmers who came through the village, as they had little to no access to clean drinking water. The community’s need for a reliable water source was clear. Without consistent access to water, daily life became much more difficult, and families were forced to live with ongoing hardship. Recognizing these challenges, Quenched decided to help by installing a well in the village.

This new well has greatly improved life for the community. Now, more than 40 people who previously had no access to their own well can collect clean water every day. In addition, more than 30 others, including visitors and farmers, also benefit from this water source. Daily tasks are now easier, hygiene has improved, and families feel a sense of relief and hope knowing clean water is available when they need it. This project is a powerful reminder of how something as simple as a well can change lives—improving health, restoring dignity, and helping a community thrive. Thank you, Quenched!
