Project
Hillside Secondary School
Hillside Secondary, a non-government school in the Kilolo District of the Iringa region, confronts the challenge of accessing safe and clean water. The school serves a total of 84 students and 9 staff members.
Hillside relies on the Kilolo water system, rainwater during the rainy season, and a nearby stream. Additionally, there is a reserve tank to store water for domestic use. However, the monthly water fee of 250,000 Tshs is too expensive for the school, leading students to often resort to using water from the stream, which is typically unsafe.
The primary goal of this project is to ensure that the students at Hillside Secondary School have access to clean water. In collaboration with our implementing partner, St. Paul Partners, we will install a shallow borehole well equipped with a hand pump within the school premises. This initiative guarantees that students will have sufficient safe water, thereby increasing their classroom study time. Moreover, the availability of clean water is expected to greatly improve the health of not only the students and teachers but also the surrounding community members.
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).
