Kiange Primary School

As Kiange Primary School community, we express our gratitude to Lifewater Canada donors for providing our school with a rainwater harvesting and storage tank. We are grateful for your kindness and generosity.

Kiange Primary School in Mwingi central constituency, in Kenya's Kitui County, has 64 students. The school that was started by the community has had financial struggles for a long time and therefore could not afford to buy a storage tank for harvesting rainwater or to buy water for the students from local vendors. The school community was very grateful when Lifewater Canada, thanks to our donors, installed a rainwater catchment and storage system that includes a large 10,000-litre and hand-washing station. Now the students and staff can gather water during the rain season to meet their drinking and sanitation needs during the dry season. Jane Musyoki, a teacher at the school, says they always dreamed of having a storage tank but the price was far beyond what they could ever afford.
