The inhabitants of Karagwe usually live in communites of four families widely scattered between their fileds without any access to clean water.
Traditionally the children are responsible for fetching water and this has to happen at least three times a day. That’s why due to time shortage many of them have no chance to go to school.
The goal of this project is to support the water supply in the region by building water tanks with a cap that will collect the rainwater of the rainy season and store it for the dry season.
An analyses conducted by our local partner organization Mavuno Project (http://www.mavunoproject.org/) shows that there is a need for 200 such rainwater tanks in the region. Since 2008 31 tanks have been built so far.
More information on the project is available here (in German only):
