Background
The lack of rainfall during the seasonal monsoons in recent years has led to the depletion of aquifers. Added to this is the mechanization of the countryside in rural work and the increase in the supply of low-skilled labor, leaving many of these small farmers and landless families unemployed and without income. Their survival being a challenge, they are forced to migrate and settle in the cities in search of employment and income, even suffering exploitation due to the low wages associated with their low skills.
Objectives
A well is drilled in the schoolyard that provides water to a 1,000-liter reservoir thanks to the
installation of a submersible pump. Taps are installed on the outside walls of the school that receive water from the tank due to the force of gravity, since the tank is located on the roof of the school. Submersible pumps are more durable than hand-powered pumps because they do not suffer from friction, are much easier to maintain and have practically no breakdowns.
Milestones
This project has ensured that, to date, 750 people have access to safe drinking water.
