Situation
The community of over 1000 people are currently using a seasonal pond for water which occasionally dries up during hot season. The nearest borehole is 3.5km walk which they use when the pond is dry and until the next rainy season begins. The school (522 pupils, inc.320 girls) is within 1km; attendance is irregular due to ill health from waterborne diseases and lack of sanitation at school. The community sanitation situation is also poor as most only have tradition pit latrines or nothing at all.
Solution
Water for Kids embraces a holistic approach in the prevention of waterborne diseases and the spread of diseases such as Covid 19 by: 1. Providing Safe Water - We will drill a borehole and water will be pumped by hand pumps and accessed at standpipes. We will provide the school with water tanks. 2. Sanitation - We will provide the materials and training for households to build their own sanplats and build a girls washrooms at the school. 3. Hygiene & Handwashing Training to school and community
