Ecole Nationale Centre Bourg
Founded in the early 2000s, École Nationale Centre Bourg is located in the commune of Carice. The school serves around 200 students and employs 12 teachers who work together to provide a supportive and structured learning environment adapted to the needs of the local community.
Mukuthu Secondary School
Mukuthu Secondary School was founded in 2013 through a community initiative. The parents acquired the school land, while the buildings and other infrastructure were acquired using government funds and support from the parents. The school has grown in terms of population and academic performance over the years. There are currently 110 students, 61 girls and 59 boys, and 14 administrators/staff.
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.
Precious Gift Primary School
A private primary boarding and day school in Uganda, Precious Gift Primary School Zirobwe has 27 teachers serving 326 students. The school’s main water source is a shallow well with a pump, which often breaks down. When the pump is broken, it takes 107 minutes (almost 2 hours) to make a single round trip for water collection from the nearest source. The school also spends over $80 USD every month on water expenses. Providing a brand new rainwater collection system, handwashing stations, and water filters would change life at this school and for everyone in the community around it.
Rena Light Nursery and Primary School
Rena Light Nursery and Primary School hosts 410 primary and nursery school students, taught by 14 teachers throughout 7 classrooms. Their main water source is an unreliable piped water source that is rarely available during school hours. The school spends an average of $25 per month on water-related expenses in order to purchase necessary water from vendors. The school does not currently treat its water, meaning it likely contains contaminants that will result in illness. In order to redeem valuable class time and eliminate a health concern for students, we are hoping to install a new rainwater collection system and provide water filters and handwashing stations.
Saviefe Deme Community School
Saviefe Deme is a rural community located in the Volta region of Ghana and has a population of approximately 3,100 people. The major economic activity in the community is subsistent farming, trading, and hunting. The people are very friendly and accommodating. Saviefe Deme Community School was established in 1964 by the Government of Ghana in partnership with the community. The school has not received any major development from the government since its establishment, so the community members always come together to support the school through communal labor with the support of other organizations. Being the only school in the area, the school currently has 150 students ranging from kindergarten to grade 9.
South Sudan School 5 (2026)
Our implementing partner, Water for South Sudan, 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.
Ugwachanya Primary School
Ugwachanya Primary School is a government institution located in Mseke Ward, Iringa Region. The school has a total of 665 students and 18 staff members, which includes both teachers and non-teaching personnel. It plays a vital role in shaping the future of the community through education. However, it faces significant challenges due to a lack of a clean and reliable water source.
