Project
Ecole Centre de Formation et d’Application Jean Calvin
Founded in 1990, Ecole Centre de Formation et d’Application Jean Calvin School is located in Ouanaminthe, in the Northeast Department. The school serves students from first grade to NS3.
The school operates regularly and ensures close supervision of its students. However, the well that is used to supply water to the facility is currently out of service. The sanitary facilities also need repairs, which negatively affects the comfort and hygiene of the students.
The proposed project from our implementing partner, Unlocking Communities, includes:
Water filters:
Water filters:
- High-capacity LifeStraw filters will be provided; these are either LifeStraw Community or LifeStraw Max (LifeStraw Community is used in most cases, as it has multiple spigots, but LifeStraw Max may be used depending on availability). See photos for descriptions of each.
- 1 filter is provided for every ~200 students.
- Replacement parts for each filter for up to 5 years.
Training:
- Our local staff provides installation support and product training to school leadership or the individual responsible for filter maintenance.
- Our staff also provides related social behavior change training for students and school staff, such as water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices.
- If desired, school educators can also receive support in integrating WASH education into their own curriculum.
This project aims to provide students with reliable access to clean water. It will significantly reduce the risk of waterborne diseases and improve hygiene conditions within the school. Additionally, it will reduce daily expenses for students who currently have to buy clean water to drink at school. Overall, the project will contribute to better health and create a safer learning environment.
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).
