We have started a new water project in the community of Ursoaia. Ursoaia is a village of 2,718 people in the southeastern part of Moldova. They currently use home cisterns for their water usage. We signed a contract for LDS Charities on Oct. 8 to bring clean water into the village. LDS Charities will rehabilitate the well, put in a new tank,replace all the old pipes,install new electrical system, and put in the main water pipe into the village. This village has not had clean water in their homes for 20 years. Now that the contract has been signed work should start next week. More pictures will be coming when we raise the tanks.
