In 2021, working alongside our partners and residents, we constructed a borehole, and installed three water tanks and eight taps in Chinganji, but this was just the beginning.
That project was a pilot. When it was complete, we had reached 201 students in the local Primary School and 786 people in nearby villages with clean water. This year we plan to expand the project to reach the nine remaining villages on the outskirts of Chinganji that do not currently have clean water.
This project will reach all nine villages via two different water systems.
Phase I
The first water project will extend the pipe network from the existing water system at the Primary School, and build another water system. We will also help build toilets and handwashing facilities at the school. This can help provide 1,830 people with clean water and 437 school children with decent toilets, soap and handwashing stations in Chinganji.
Phase II
The second part of the project will reach the last four villages. Here we will install a solar-powered water system and set up water storage tanks.
The two projects combined will equip nine more communities, some 1,830 people, with clean water.
