2 new solar-powered water systems completed.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With this project we’re constructing 2 new water systems and rehabilitating 5 existing ones, converting those into water kiosks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two new water systems in Calaba Town and Waterloo are now 100% completed. The water is distributed via storage tanks to two nearby schools: Grafton School for the Blind and Wellington Muslim Association School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water is also being routed to two markets where no clean drinking water or toilets were available before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
