Rain Water Harvest System Built at Presbyterian Church Gituza
Reported by Chip Kragt, Story written by Amanda MulderIn August 2020, volunteers built a Rain Water Harvest System at the Presbyterian Church Gituza. Emmanuel is a leader at the church. When we spoke with him, he told us, "I thank you for empowering churches to serve the most vulnerable.We are very happy to have this system, which is a big financial support to our church. Water from this system will help us for cleaning and neighbors will use this water."
Location:
| Country: | Rwanda |
| District: | Ngoma |
| Sector: | Rukumberi |
| Cell: | Gituza |
| Village: | Mfune |
Solution:
We place these rainwater collection tanks at centrally-located churches, which shortens the walk for water and improves water quality. Churches sell the water at an affordable rate and use the income to maintain the system. Remaining funds are given to the poorest members of the community for school fees, health insurance, and other basic needs.
