Hi David & Moses,
Below are my latest exchanges with Fred Mango at Kentainers.
My goal is to have the first truckload delivered to Bosiango in January.
Happy Holidays to you and your families,
Yours in friendship,
Jack


Hi Fred,
Can you give me a quote for the best possible price for a truckload of 5000 litre water storage tanks delivered to Bosiango. I think this size will be more affordable and portable - I'm hoping to be able to place an order faster than if I were to wait for funds for the larger tanks. At least we can start catching rain sooner than later.
Your partner in the Bosiango RainCatcher Project,

Hi Jack,

5000LITERS x 6 PER TRUCK @KSHS.31,190 PER TANK = 187,140
5,000 litres = 1,300 gallons @ $450. USD x 6 tanks = $2,700.
+ 600. (trucking & branding) = $3,300.

Transport is 40,000kshs. per truck per trip. ($600USD)

For printing 'RainCatcher' on the tanks it's chargeable at kshs 2500.kshs per tank. ($35.USD)

I hope the above information is helpful to you.

Thanks Fred, This is perfect. Can you now connect me with your accounting dept. So I can set up a way for funds to start coming to Kentainers. I plan to order:

Six - 5,000 litre (1,300 gallon) tanks @ $450. USD x 6 tanks = $2,700.
+ 600. (trucking & branding) = $3,300.

Plus an assortment of rain gutters, tarps, ropes and small plastic storage containers needed for the portable RainCatchers.

If this first one goes well and we are able to continue to raise funds, the goal will be to deliver one truckload per month for the entire year of 2007.
Thanks, Jack
