Clean Water
In 2022, The Chazuka Project was able to facilitate drilling a borehole with funding from Wilmslow Wells for Africa.
Prior to this, women in the village had to walk a 3km round trip to collect the water the school needs. This meant most water needs were sourced from the dirty lake which caused health problems.
Having a borehole close to the school has made a huge difference to the whole Chazuka community and a minimum of 388 people. It enables the school to:
- Provide easier access to clean drinking water
- Cook the children’s daily porridge more safely
- Ensure much more thorough hygiene and hand washing (which is even more essential since COVID)
- Develop gardening projects at the school
- Be more efficient when completing work on the school building
- Make plans to increase the number of children attending the school and set sights on building a second classroom
We are so grateful to Wilmslow Wells for Africa for supporting this project and making the dream of clean water in Chazuka a reality.
