Spring 2025 Update

2024 was a very busy year for Project Sheluka. Thanks to your donations we shipped over 2,000 pounds of material to Zambia, commissioned the fabrication 120 Barotse Strong Pumps (BSPs) in Zambia and installed 116 BSPs. These installations include one health clinic, three churches, four schools and 107 villages. We do not yet have a number of people served by our efforts but it is over 8,000.

We encourage you to find the Google Map botton on the website and explore our work on the Matebele and Mulonga Plains.

Call for Funds

Project Sheluka is now a proven organization. We are an approved Zambian NGO and have successfully negotiated duty-free import status with the Republic of Zambia. We have installed over 100 wells and pumps that immediately change the lives of people.

Our field work in 2024 has shown that there are approximately 30% more villages that we found in the 2020 survey. It is our intention to install an additional 200 wells and pumps in 2025. In order to continue this work we ask for your help. We are presently assembling a cargo shipment to Zambia to initiate this effort.

People often asked “How much does it cost to install a well and pump?”. As we had not yet installed a well and pump it was not possible to give an accurate answer. Now that we have direct experience, we can say that the total cost per well is just under $400. This includes everything: procurement, shipping, fabrication, transportation and services. Not much considering the immediate impact a well and pump brings to a community.
