My water project was funded by Water Charity! Water Charity pays for the projects up front and hopes that people will be kind enough to pay them back so that they can continue to help all over the world.

I know it's the holiday season and times are tough, if you can give please do.

My project can be found at http://appropriateprojects.com/node/78 but here is what it's about.

Essau Senior Secondary School is a secondary school where students continue their education in hopes of being able to go on to professional jobs and/or higher education at either the college or a university. Students from 5 nearby villages come to attend classes.

Water is available at the high school from only a single tap at the front of the school. It is in poor condition, leaking constantly and wasting water. There is no running water in the restrooms, located at the back of the school.



The leaking tap leaves standing water, allowing mosquitoes to breed, creating conditions conducive to the spread of malaria.

There is also a small community just outside of the school that gets its water from the high school tap.

This project will create a piping system throughout the school. It will bring water to the administrator's house and to the toilets for the staff, boys, and girls. It will also provide water for the science labs.
