Kyeshero Secondary/Vocational School Progress

The original plan had been to connect the school to a gravity fed spring/stream source, but after testing, the source was found to be infected with typhoid. In fact the staff and pupils already suffer from this on a frequent basis because they are already fetching water from that source.

 

So we had to change the plans and in the end the school needed to have a tank for collecting rainwater and we were able to do that within the same budget.  The school community provided much of the labor and materials.  By mid-August the tank was in place and they were in the process of completing some work required to connect the gutters.  

 

These are photos of the tank just before the gutters were installed and connected. We are waiting for confirmation that all is complete and we hope to have more photos soon!
