Gankanga Secondary School Tank

At Auara, we are working to combat the greatest form of poverty there is: the lack of clean drinking water.

CONTEXT

The students at Gankanga Secondary School and in most of the students' homes, a regular supply of quality water is not guaranteed. They only count on the water brought from home by each of the students. Girls are forced to carry water in heavy jerry cans from the nearest river to their homes. These obligations cause absenteeism among girls, increasing the great inequality between boys and girls.

OBJECTIVES

A rainwater collection tank has been installed, along with the piping that collects water from the school’s roofs. We have a steady supply of water because it rains every day.

During periods of drought, the tank will be filled with water from a water truck. This school was chosen because it serves as a model of good management.

MILESTONES

This project has allowed 520 people to have access to drinking water.
