One of the two main goals of the Kenya Summer 2011 trip that took place in May 2011 was to research potential future programs at our partner schools. Through the trip, one of our partner schools, Kirobon Primary School, presented a proposal to help install a water-catchment system at the school. The school is located on a high altitude therefore, the rain water is flooding the classrooms, causing soil erosion on their land and simply going to waste. After discussing with the school’s administration, we knew this was a viable program to support. This program will make sure that all the school’s buildings are installed with gutters to collect the rain water and also pipes that will take the water to the main reservoir tank where the water will be accessible. A new tank will also need to be constructed since the current one is leaking and does not hold enough water for the school. Instead of flooding the classrooms, the water will now be used to clean and wash the classrooms. Instead of causing soil erosion and destroying the school’s crops, the water will now be used to water the school’s crops and the trees we planted through our Trees 4 Hope program. Instead of lacking clean water at the school, teachers and students will now have ready access to it. – Total cost: $2200 There are no program updates at this time, please check back later.
