Lifetime Wells for Ghana is a non-profit company founded by Ken Wood,
owner of Lifetime Wells, located in Denton Maryland. Ken is a very
experienced mud-rotary driller and has installed over 500 wells in
the Volta region of Ghana as of 2011. These wells are serving in excess
of 300,000 people in southeastern Ghana. Lifetime Wells has installed
wells in most of the region where mud-rotary drilling is required.
In order to expand its reach, Lifetime Wells must start drilling
wells in hard rock areas. This is where Wells for Relief will help
the water projects to continue.
Wells for Relief has extensive experience with air rotary drilling
which is the technique needed to successfully drill productive water
wells in the rock. WFR has helped supply the necessary drilling equipment
and expertise so the number of people receiving clean water will continue
to increase.
In addition to the drilling support, Wells for Relief will be very
active in the maintenance of the hundreds of hand pumps that have
been installed. Sustainability of these projects is of the utmost
importance, and we feel we can be very helpful in this area.
