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.
Standard College School Nsangi
Serving 1234 students in Uganda’s Katereke community as a private day and boarding school for secondary students, Standard College School Nsangi currently relies on water from a protected spring but continually finds its needs unmet. The source does not provide enough water and is far off-campus. When there is water available, it has unacceptable taste, color, and smell. To supplement this, the school spends an average of $70 USD every month on water expenses alone, funds that should go to curriculum materials or even toys for the students. In order to protect the health of students and teachers, Standard College School Nsangi is in need of a solution that will provide safe water for drinking, handwashing, and more.
