Living Water International is a nonprofit organization that was created in 1990 by a group of caring businessmen who visited Kenya.
To accomplish its goal, LWI purchased a used Jaswell 3500 drill rig with a 900/350 air compressor on-board and sent it to Kenya to begin training staff to operate it. The group also received significant contributions from Numa, a leading designer and manufacturer of down-hole hammers and bits, in the form of Champion 80E down-hole hammers and 8 1?inch bits. Much of the drilling on these projects was conducted by newly trained rig operators in extremely remote locations where replacement parts are hard to come by. The equipment being used had to continue to operate without incidence of failure in order for the projects to be completed in an acceptable amount of time.
