His heart was challenged to do something so he enrolled in a drilling course through Living Water International Texas, USA, where he obtained a Shallow Water Drilling Certificate. After obtaining his certificate, Phil worked with Lance Whyle of Living Water International helping to provide clean water for 3 years. Lance retired and 2013 saw the birth of Water for Africa. Since then Phil has travelled 3-4 times each year to Tanzania, often accompanied by his wife and a team of volunteers to bring safe clean water to the beautiful people. |
