Buy water for the llamas
A bore hole is the most common rural water supply. It is similar to a well, but runs much deeper into the ground to ensure there is no surface contamination from cattle manure etc. At present the sanctuary is dependent on the water supply from the main residential house for all animal water requirements, which is only equipped with a rainwater harvesting solution (rainwater is gathered from the house roof and stored in a large tank before passing through a filtration system).
Whilst this system is excellent for residential needs, it is not fit for purpose for supplying the large numbers of animals at the sanctuary, and we sometimes run very low and have to ration supplies. The solution is a bore hole - very expensive, but a contemporary high volume water supply that will make us self sufficient for decades to come.
A bore hole installation costs in the region of £11,000 - any contributions towards this cost will be very much appreciated!
