WATER:
Our aim is to bring clean water to all areas of the district. Where possible we will bring pipelines which will have a "water kiosk" every 2.5 km, and where the pipeline is not a possibility but water is available underground we intend to put a well. All water projects are owned by the community and once implemented the community are totally responsible for the care and upkeep of wells and water kiosks.

to date:

eighteen shallow ground wells

two 16,000 litre tanks in schools to collect rainwater

3500 litre tank to a clinic to collect rainwater

7.5 km pipeline between Rombo and Matepes and Enterkesi

pipeline to serve Rombo Village consisting of a pipeline from a spring, a pump house, 2 storage tanks of 8,000 litres mounted on a 9 m structure to provide water by gravity to the population, solar panels and pump added 2019

2 km pipeline from Belgrove borehole with one water kiosk for community water

5 km pipeline from an existing borehole to Nasipa Primary school

two Sand Dams in the Noolasiti area

  • Olmapinu Primary School:

Borehole (depth 120 m) solar powered, providing water for the school and surrounding community 

Sand Dam:
Water is the catalyst for everything.
Water helps to grow crops which can be sold for money that can be used for education.
Water is the first step to poverty relief.
​Sand Dams are reinforced concrete walls built across seasonally dry rivers. Walls trap the sand that the rains wash down river. The sand backs up against the wall and millions of litres of water are trapped in the sand. The sand prevents the water from evaporating and filters the water so that it can be drank straight out of the sand by digging a shallow hole
