Water harvesting at Good Times Infants School Ngalamye, Uganda
The community of Ngalamye village in Uganda mainly relies on a single community spring (open water pond) for it’s water supply. The pond is unprotected and therefore has a low water quality. Pupils of the Good Times Infants School also rely on this spring and this affects the pupils learning as a lot of time is consumed in fetching unsafe water.
This project is initiated by Better Life Initiative Project (BELIP), a NGO which is based in Ngalamye village. The goal of the project is to provide a safe and sustainable water supply for Ngalamye village, to train and facilitate the BELIP organisation and to act as an example project for surrounding communities.
The project consists of the following phases:
Phase 1a Construction of a rooftop water harvesting system at Good Times Infants School.
Phase 1b Capacity building of the BELIP organisation and a feasibility study to improve the water supply of Ngalamye village.
Phase 2 Construction of the water supply improvements and dissemination of the solutions.
