Agreed that the effectiveness well-digging probably does not generalize to other organizations or places
Their overhead is only $50k per year, so it’s pretty small. And if we are thinking about the returns on an additional/marginal well, it probably doesn’t make sense to include fixed costs in our calculations
As far as scaling goes, we plan to address that in our next post! They are a small organization, but it sounds like they could probably double in size (which would mean an additional $300k in “revenue” per year) without running out of good well options or organizational barriers anytime soon
Thanks!

QoL improvements: Not having to walk extended distance to get their water and then carry it back, being able to use more water because you don’t have to carry it so far, not having to drink visually dirty water (https://www.wells4wellness.com/uploads/1/4/9/3/149316772/published/screenshot-278.png?1754683435)
