Historically Samrong has been able to collect enough water from rainwater collection and from a well to provide the water needed to grow the crops and look after the staff and children.  After a prolonged period of reduced rainfall the well ran dry, and a decision was made to connect the Farm to a paid-for water supply.

Samrong Children’s Farm always works with a very tight budget, and in recent years we have been trying very hard to make up a shortfall in our funding.  Investment in infrastructure can be very difficult without plenty of planning.

The situation as it stands is that whilst attempting to plug a budget shortfall we are gradually working to pay off the cost of connecting to the water supply.  The Round Table Lodge of Lincolnshire kindly donated £500, and our group of affiliated rugby referees gave £300 from “fines” they had made of their referees at social occasions.

We appreciate that when considering charitable giving it’s not always a person’s intention to offer money into the general pool, so if you wished to put money towards specific projects like this infrastructure project we would be very grateful.
