A group of youngsters have developed an innovative way to source water for household use in the Morobe province. “Clean water is hard to find in our community, and it causes diseases like cholera and typhoid,” said Karen Abor, a Grade 11 student at Lae Secondary School, who is one of the members of that group. To solve this problem, youths from Tanam, Wampar LLG, created the "Pori Eco Drill," a portable and affordable water drilling machine made from recycled materials like old car parts and steel pipes. “This invention has already helped communities in Kamkumung, Igam, and Markham Bridge access clean water for homes, churches, and farms,” Karen said. The youths are now working to expand their project by partnering with organizations, training other communities, and improving the drill with solar power. “It’s amazing to see how creativity and hard work are making a difference,” Karen added.
