Ikuvilo Primary School
Project Complete!
Ikuvilo Primary School is located in Ikuvilo village, Iringa rural district approximately 25 Kilometers from Iringa town. There are 549 students ranging from pre-primary to standard 7 who are educated by 8 teachers/staff members.
The school faces a big challenge of accessing safe and clean water. Currently students are using water from an old well in the village, which is contaminated and always has long lines, or from streams around the area. They need to bring water to school daily for consumption, cooking, watering flowers and general cleanliness. Fetching water from these unsafe sources interferes with class time and causes students to miss important lessons and valuable study time. Their education suffers and they perform poorly on exams.
The school does have 16 adequate latrines which they will be able to keep much cleaner by having a water source on the grounds.

Project Proposal: Shallow Well
Having a well at the school will provide a clean and safe water source for the students, teachers, and neighbors to use. This will help reduce the number of students and staff members that become sick with stomach illnesses and diarrhea. Students will also benefit by having more time for their studies and their performances will improve.

H2O for Life is not a WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) project implementer. We have partnerships with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) implementing WASH in Schools projects around the world. Our NGO partners match funds needed for each school project. We also have a generous donor that provides us with an interest-free loan that, along with matching funds, allows for many projects to be started or possibly even completed before total funds have been raised. In rare situations we reserve the right to reallocate funds to alternate project(s).
