Peter’s Wells For Africa is a charitable venture providing clean water to schools and villages in Africa. Started by Bakewell residents Peter and Debra Stone in 2012 the project seeks to ensure that African communities never have to walk miles to collect dirty and infected water again. Peter spent time working in East Africa ten years ago and saw, at first hand, the difference that clean water makes to whole communities.
Peter’s Wells For Africa has already installed rainwater harvesting systems at four schools in East Africa and has helped fund a solar powered borehole which supplies water to Ikonge – a town of 6,000 people in Kenya.
Peter’s Wells For Africa is currently raising funds to install a further rainwater system at Takitech School in the Western Rift Valley of Kenya and, as part of this fundraising there will be a coffee morning in Bakewell Town Hall on Monday 7 September from 1000 to 1200. Please come along and support this vital local venture.
