Gimomoi Primary School in Kenya now has access to a new source of safe, clean water thanks to the completion of their rain tank! Here’s a summary of the completion report from our implementing partner, The Water Project:
We also installed new latrines and handwashing stations for students, and we trained the school on improved sanitation and hygiene practices, including COVID-19 prevention. These components will unlock the opportunity for these students to live better, healthier lives.
“I will no longer be fetching water from the stream,” said Joy.
“Since we have water in school now, [I] am sure I will have more time to be in class. I will be able to make my own timetable and follow it strictly to improve my grades more.”
Teachers were just as excited as the students about the new rain tank on campus.
“As a teacher, I know clean and safe flowing water in school means living healthy,” said Walter Uganda, the school’s Head Teacher. “I will no longer have a fear of getting sick because of consuming water children get from home.”
