Generous donors have provided the funds to begin construction on the water catchment system. And just in time. April is the middle of the ‘long rains’, or main rainy season in Tanzania. The video shows one of the water storage tanks for the catchment system being delivered to the school.
Once fully built out, the catchment system will be able to capture rainwater that otherwise runs uncollected off the school’s roofs. The school will soon have another source of clean, fresh water for preparing school lunches, handwashing and other hygiene, and irrigating the school’s garden.
