Project Sheluka would like to acknowledge the help from corporations, organized groups and charitable foundations. Thanks!
Corporate help
Various corporations have donated, or provided very generous discounts, for the hardware needed to install 110 wells and pumps. These discounts and donations represent a savings of approximately 60% compared to retail prices. We are a very small non-profit and a 60% reduction of hardware costs is tremendous. These corporations are providing the help to deliver clean, reliable water to thousands. Listed below are companies that have helped:
Campbell Manufacturing (a division of Baker Water Systems): donation of sandpoints, couplers and drive caps.
Monarch-McLaren LTD: substantial discount of custom leather seals.
Boshart Industries: substantial discount on check valves.
Pumps of Tennessee: donation of sandpoints.

Organized Help
Saint Timothy Catholic Church, Union Kentucky
For the past two years the Saint Timothy parish has adopted Project Sheluka as its recipient for proceeds from the 127 Yard Sale. This involves the work of dozens of parishoners over many days. Many villages will be served by their efforts.
David D. Dodge Foundation
The David D. Dodge Foundation was an early and continued supporter of the Project. This help was critical during the pump design phase. We would not be at this stage of installation without this help.
The K6 Family Foundation
The K6 Family Foundation has funded the transportation costs for the Project, including shipping over a ton of hardware and getting it to our workshop and onto the villages.
