The latest mission to Wiggins Primary School in Kumi Uganda resulted in 2 successful boreholes. The boreholes are both fitted with handpumps. The water from the boreholes will be used as drinkingwater for the 1000 pupils of the primary school. The first results of waterquality- and capacitytests of the boreholes are positive.
For the next 6 months the quality and capacity of the boreholes will be monitored by the schoolstaff and -children. After these 6 months the results of the monitoring and the possibilties for an upgrade to a solar powered system will be evaluated.
