Kunyukuo was classified as one of the worst guinea worm infested communities in the Lawra District. The community lacked potable water source and the main sources of drinking water was a stream and a hand-dug well. Clinical analysis of these water sources indicated that all the water sources are full of bacteria and has an odour and has traces of iron. The results indicate a poor water supply coverage in the community. Water Coverage (defined as the number of people having access to basic level of service) indicated that 1,500 people have access to a hand-dug well (as against national standard of 150 people per hand-dug well). The distance from the community to collection point is about 1 kilometer and the follow of the water was not consistent. At the peaks of dry season people have to keep vigil in order to get few buckets of water from the well whilst the streams dry up.

The objective of the project to construct 100,000 litre capacity motorised borehole facility to provide all year round water facility to Kunyukuo community
