This school is found in the Msundwe community, in Traditional Authority Malili in Lilongwe west (approximately 30km from the capital city). The school has an enrolment of 508 students, and 6 teachers with a catchment population of 1,783 people.
The school has no water source point for safe drinking, no hand washing facilities, and poor sanitary facilities.
This project will be a comprehensive Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Project (WASH) Project including 4 double pit latrines (2 boys, 2 girls, 2 teachers), 2 urinal stations (1 boy, 1 girls) and 4 hand washing facilities (2 boys, 2 girls). It will also include hygiene training for the students and teachers and will include the planting of 100 trees around the water point and 4-5 trees for each student’s family. It also includes distribution of P&G’s PUR packs to each family. PUR Packs is the water purification technology in a powder, an amazing innovation that quickly turns 10 liters of dirty, potentially deadly water into clean and drinkable water.
H2O for Life partners with experienced NGO organizations around the world that build and support clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education projects in schools. These NGO partners cover half the total cost of every project funded through H2O for Life.
When students raise money for a project, 90% of the funds go directly to the project, and 10% supports the work that makes the project possible. This includes choosing trusted partners, managing funds responsibly, checking on projects, and reporting back so students can see the impact of their work.
This helps ensure every project is done well, stays sustainable, and truly changes lives.
In rare situations, we reserve the right to reallocate funds to alternate project(s).
