Project
Olbolet Siana Hills Academy
Project Complete!
Students at Olbolet Siana Hills Academy rely upon piped water from the nearby market where there is a 500L water tank. However, this source is very unreliable and often empty. They have been without water since the school year started and it will likely remain this way for several weeks, maybe even longer. When this happens, it forces students and staff to be absent while they fetch water from a nearby river, which is not safe for drinking, cooking, etc. but can only be used for cleaning and handwashing.
The school needs close to 500L of water a day for its handwashing program, cooking, cleaning and drinking. Staff at Olbolet Siana Hills Academy have a very strong commitment to teaching their students about the importance of proper hygiene. Having an adequate and consistent water supply will enable them to practice what they teach, and be a good example for the community.
Project Proposal:
- Installation of a 10,000 L water catchment tank
- Piped water from the tank to the school kitchen
- 2 handwashing stations
