Safe Water for Mary Kavine Infant School

Posted by Steve Hall on June 15, 2023

Thank you to the Westridge Water Warriors in California for helping to bring safe water to Mary Kavine Infant School, Nkokonjeru LC1, Uganda.

Check out your impact!

  • You brought clean water to a school with 9 staff, serving 315 students at the time of project installation
  • Previously, students and staff fetched from ⁠an unreliable piped supply
  • By bringing a rainwater collection system to facility grounds, we estimate that you eliminated up to 1.53 miles of walking and 5.83 hours of collection time per day!

Note: Time and distance calculations are based on the average number of 20 liter jerrycans that UWP rainwater collection systems can provide each day. We assume that every jerrycan fetched from the UWP rainwater collection system replaces one trip to the previous water source. Distance from the facility to the previous water source is calculated for a round trip as the crow flies, using GPS coordinates.
