Lukomera students have safe water!
Posted by Steve Hall on September 26, 2017
Thank you to Carl Sandburg Elementary/Discovery Community School, WA for bringing safe water to Lukomera C/U Primary School, Uganda
Check out your impact!
- You brought clean water to 524 people
- You eliminated 1.81 miles of walking per day
- You reduced collection time by 17.50 hours per day
- You replaced a Borehole well with a Rainwater Catchment System
Before:
While the closest water source for the students was a nearby borehole well, the well runs dry about once a week. Additionally, the surrounding community of 800 people also uses the well, so quantity of water is a concern.
Notes:
- Calculations are based the on number of 20 liter jerrycans used each day at this facility: 35 jerrycans
- One jerrycan per trip to original water source
- Distance is calculated for a round trip, using GPS, as the crow flies
