Adding Running Water, Toilets, and Showers

The village has decided that its next priority is to install modern plumbing at the school.  There will be sinks and toilets at both the lower and upper campuses.  The Dorm will get showers! The cost of this project has increased by $2,000.00 due to the challenges of providing water and installing septic systems for the two sites.

The project is estimated at 36,000 USD.  As of March 2, 2026, $22,811 has been raised.

Funds raised so far!

Third Building Reverse Timeline:

February 2026: Upper Building Wall and Roof Finished!

The upper bathroom building and roof are complete, and the upper septic tank is complete. Focus is now on the interior plumbing work. We will next purchase tiles and 15000-liter water tanks for both upper and lower water towers.

The sitting and squatting toilets have arrived, and they will be installed as funding becomes available.

Foundations for Staff and Visitor Toilets

To save money, the villages dug the trench for the water pipe from the water tower, which you can see in the back of the picture.

Villagers have installed the water line that will feed the upper campus and cover the pipe.
