Rain Water Harvest System Built at Anglican Church Rwintashya

Reported by Rebero Jean d'Amour, Story written by Amanda Mulder

Water Project volunteers built a Rain Water Harvest System on the Anglican Church Rwintashya.  It is expected to serve over 300 local residents.

Location:
Country: Rwanda
District: Ngoma
Sector: Rukumberi
Cell: Rubona
Village: Rwimpongo I
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.
