The school did not have access to any potable water and illness from cholera, dysentery and other water related diseases was common. This project installed a complex water filtration system and reservoir tank that will provide safe drinking water to the 593 students, staff and local community. Thank you to the Sumar Lakhani Foundation for making this possible.
Existing water tank
The new water purification system was delivered to the school on March 10th.
Delivering water purification system
The filters have been installed and piped into the building. There will be a long sink installed under the faucets for the children to drink from and wash their hands.
