3 Rainwater Harvesting Systems installed in Kagogo

Reported by Consolée UWIMANA, Story written by Margaret Coolman

Water project volunteers have installed 3 Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Kagogo. It is believed that 1,500 people will benefit from the installation of these filters.

Location:
Country: Rwanda
District: Burera
Sector: Kagogo
Cell: Kabaya
Village: Rukenke
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.
