Nkolmeseng Primary School and Community currently has poor water supply systems of hand dug wells. School children and families go for days or weeks without portable water and rely on very doubtful sources for their daily use
Additionally, the community is poorly equipped for any pandemic crisis, with a lack of knowledge and materials for being prepared, managing illnesses, and being ready for long-term food shortages. This intervention will provide necessary knowledge about how to combat viruses and water borne diseases, as well as the practical tools to fight them. One of the most important weapons will be the new water they'll have to keep their hands washed and stay hydrated during disease outbreaks. Lastly, the community has had historically poor menstrual hygiene training, and this project will include workshops on using sustainable menstrual cups and reusable pads. The project will provide a borehole, storage capacity of 10,000 litters, energy supply a storage tower, WASH trainings and menstrual workshops with Wash Facilities at the school campus
Kumbo Rotarians will ensure full participation from starting to finish and as well keep all funders informed during and after the project. The Grant funds shall be used for Drilling, Pump, energy installations. Drawdown test, construction of tower and provision of storage capacity as well as WASH/ menstrual hygiene trainings. The project will be implemented within 6 months from the time funds are available
