Project
Ecole Nationale Centre Bourg
Founded in the early 2000s, École Nationale Centre Bourg is located in the commune of Carice. The school serves around 200 students and employs 12 teachers who work together to provide a supportive and structured learning environment adapted to the needs of the local community.
The school has several classrooms to accommodate all students, as well as sanitary facilities and toilets, although students do not have access to drinking water on the school premises. Teaching materials are used to support daily learning and various tools enable teachers to carry out their educational activities effectively.
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.
The planned water treatment system will supply the school with a reliable source of clean drinking water. This initiative will greatly improve hygiene standards and contribute to better health among students and teachers.
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).
