Lamin Oyo Community School

Lunyelelia Primary School
Lunyelelia Primary School was established in 2021. Prior to this school's establishment, families were sending their children to schools 1.5+ kilometers away, which put a strain on parents as they would escort their children to school, delaying their daily work. Today, the school has 135 students nad 6 staff/teachers.
Namatapa Primary School
Namatapa Primary School, located in Kaselema Village, Zomba District, serves 1,312 students (670 girls, 642 boys) with 27 teachers and a catchment population of approximately 19,000 people from 27 villages. The school relies on a functional borehole with an Afridev hand pump for water supply but with a toilet-to-student ratio of 262:1—well above the recommended 50:1 standard—the sanitation situation is critical.
Nasaruni Girls - Underground Water Tank
If you come to Narok, and turn down a dusty, pot-holed road outside of town, you will travel 1 kilometer past ramshackle sheds and smiling shop clerks… to find a magical place where dreams come true, laughter and serious study unite. Here girls are nourished and educated, and thoroughly transformed as they grow into young women of purpose and confidence in the Maasai community. Welcome to Nasaruni Academy for Maasai Girls in Narok, Kenya!Nasaruni Academy is situated 9km west of Narok, in the southwestern region of Kenya which is semi-arid. According to Moses Sayo, school director, the Nasaruni community is predominantly Maasai, who are pastoralists with some sporadic practice of small scale farming.

South Sudan School 5 (2025)
Our implementing partner, Water for South Sudan's, operations teams are based in Wau and work in remote villages in the Bahr el Ghazal region of South Sudan. These isolated villages have extremely limited access to clean water, and often can only access contaminated water that will lead to sickness or even death. WFSS works with local governments and community leaders to determine the placement of wells. The goal is to create sustainable systems, incorporating well maintenance and training as part of the installation of a well.
Ttama C/U Primary School Girls Latrine and Handwashing Facilities
Ttama C/U Primary School, situated in Luwero, Uganda, currently educates 909 students, comprising 471 girls and 438 boys.
Apex Nursery and Primary School
Serving 373 students in Uganda’s Tula community as a private boarding and day primary and nursery school, Apex Nursery and Primary School currently relies on a metallic rainwater collection tank that has a low storage capacity and is breaking down - so much so that the Ugandan Water Project (UWP) team, our implementing partner, on the ground cited it as “beyond repairing.” The school must also bring water in from a tanker truck, meaning they pay roughly 500,000 Ush ($135 USD) monthly on water expenses alone. Apex Nursery and Primary School does use chlorine tablets to clean their water, but those are extra money and are difficult to dose. The UWP filter systems will eliminate that cost, and the water will be much safer. Overall, Apex Nursery and Primary School needs a rainwater collection system to provide safe drinking water, handwashing, and more.
