Thanks to the group of supporters who donated and fundraised in late 2015, this school in the Morrumbala District in Mozambique received access to clean water! The donations funded a drilled well in a region where more than 68% of the population is living in poverty and only 15.8% of the population has access to clean water.
Each school project includes a water source and training on sanitation and hygiene. WASH clubs are formed at each school to encourage proper water point maintenance and hygiene practices, such as handwashing after using the latrine, among students. Having projects like this at schools not only improves health, but also increases attendance and can serve as a catalyst to improve the overall health of the surrounding community.
We publish a project when we've approved a final report from our partners and made sure your project is working for the best of the community.
These are the GPS coordinates of your project, plotted in Google Maps. A GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinate is the exact latitude and longitude of any given point on the Earth’s surface. charity: water uses GPS coordinates to record the location of each water project we fund. Please note: there are many of different formats for GPS. We use degree decimal format.
This is the population of the community that has access to your water project.
This is the cost of the water project you funded. Costs vary by country and by project type, and depend on a wide range of variables such as the local cost of fuel and cement at the time your project was built. This project’s cost includes any hygiene training or community maintenance models for the project’s sustainability.
charity: water works with partners in the field to build and implement water projects. Our partners have years of experience. They know the land, the people, the culture and the most appropriate water technology for each area of work. They report this data from the field to help us provide proof of your completed project(s).
